POPPIES 
Shirley Poppies—Conceded by all to be 
the most beautiful of all Poppies. The flowers 
are like fairy-work, and would seem to be 
appropriately connected with them, so silky 
and tissue-like do they appear. Bending and 
trembling with life-like beauty, the surface is a 
perfect shimmer of light and color. The colors 
are blended in the most beautiful and showy 
fashion, and include almost everv shade, from 
satiny-white pale rose to the most dazzling 
crimson-scarlet, blotched and variegated in 
many styles. 
Oriental Hybrids—For brilliancy of colors 
there is nothing to equal these Oriental Poppies. 
The flowers are of enormous size, often measur¬ 
ing 6 inches in diameter, while the colors range 
from soft flesh and rose to the most brilliant 
dazzling scarlet and richest maroon purple. 
Their culture is as simple as that of the garden 
Poppies. They are perfectly hardy perennials, 
living through our winters with but little pro¬ 
tection, and increasing in size and beauty every 
year. Pkt. 5c.

New Tulip Poppy—The flowers much re¬ 
semble a bright scarlet tulip, and are very 
unique and attractive. The flowers are borne

an ornament to any garden. If sown early the 
plants flower all through the summer and 
autumn. Pkt. 5c, 
Miss Sherwood—This fine single Paeony- 
flowered Poppy forms a sturdy plant 2]/^ feet 
high, with noble foliage, and bears in profusion 
large flowers of satiny-white, the upper half

combination of rare delicacy. Pkt. 5c.

PRIMULA SINENSIS FIM- 
BRIATA 
(Fringed Chinese Primrose)

ful of all house and pot plants. Flowers

pot-plants for growing in the house during the 
winter months. Does well in a cool room and 
will bloom freely in a north window, while most 
flowers require the warm sunshine to coax them 
into bloom. Seed should be sown in shallow 
boxes of light soil during the spring, barely 
covering from view, and if the weather is very- 
warm it is best to keep the seed-box shaded 
through the hottest portion of the day. The 
earth should be moist—neither wet or dry at 
any time. When the young plants show two or 
three leaves they should be planted in small 
flower-pots two inches across, replanting them 
into larger pots as they increase in size. It is
