ICELAND (PERENNIAL) POPPIES. 
No. 942. Mixed Colours. In Sealed Packets, Is. and 2s. 6 d.

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.

splendid varieties of Primula sinensis.
