Nothing could be more glorious than a bed of these new Irish Poppies when in flower. One might 
well compare it to a kaleidoscope picture, glistening with and reflecting thousands of blight colors, or to 
some bright oriental carpet whereon the artist has exercised his ingenuity to blend pleasing and effective 
colors. Indeed, the flowers produced by this new Strain show all the colors of the rainbow, and many 
more; for even black and white are found among: them, as well as shades of pink, rose, crimson, fiery 
scarlet, carmine, maroon, tints of lilac, lavender, blue, purple, even green. Many flowers are curiously 
mottled, striped, edged, ringed and shaded with the various tints described above, the effect produced 
being almost bewildering. They are frequently 5 to 6 inches across; some single, but most double, with 
plain, scalloped or fringed edges. 
Sown early and planted in the garden in rich soil, they will bloom_profusely and frequently until 
well after frosts have cut down other tender plants ; and, being perfectly hardy, they 
will bloom again the next season in greater profusion than ever. For 1 cutting they are 
unsurpassed, as the flowers and the fern-like foliage remain fresh in water \ for over a week.

CENTROSEMA 
GRAND I FLORA. 
Seed sown in April, even 
in the poorest soil, will 
thrive from early June un¬ 
til cut down by frost, and 
produce in the greatest pro¬ 
fusion large clusters of in¬ 
verted pea-shaped flowers, 
delightfully fragrant, 
one and a half to two and a 
half inches in diameter, 
and ranging in color from 
rosy-violet to reddish pur¬ 
ple, with bright feathered 
markings through the cen¬ 
ter. It is well adapted for 
every purpose desired for a 
climber, running 6 to 8 feet 
in one season. 
As the seed germinates 
slowly, we advise soaking 
it in warm water over night 
before planting.
