Poppy, Perennial Varieties. — We here 
reach the tidal wave of popular choice in the various kinds of “ Ice¬ 
land Poppy” (Papaver nudieaule vars.). We think that 
there is hardly a similar record of such a rise and continuance in favour. 
The merits of the species are great: of easy growth, adapted for pot or 
garden work, first class as cut flowers, and clean and neat in general 
appearance. Further recommendation is needless. I foot.

Portulaca Grandiflora (Sun Plant). 
Half-hardy annuals, perhaps the most brilliant in colours of all flowers, 
the glory of America; the foliage is neat, of a fleshy succulent nature, 
like the Mesembryanthemum, and the habit is trailing, which renders 
it specially adapted for rockwork, rough places, and dwarf beds. 
Abundance of sunshine is necessary to perfection.

ICELAND (PERENNIAL) POPPIES. 
No. 942 . Mixed Colours. In Sealed Packets, Is. and 2 s. 6d. 
These charming little Perennial Poppies, now in the zenith of their fame, fully 
deserve the general praise awarded to them. They are equally adapted for small beds or 
groups in the garden, or for rockwork, and as pot plants in the greenhouse or conser¬ 
vatory are very useful. They also make good cut flowers, a quality rather rare in this 
tribe of plants.
