1 remember very well the first time I saw an Oriental Poppy. I 
was a boy then, and it excited me wonderfully, and I thought it 
the most remarkable flower in the world; and now, after twenty- 
five years have gone by and I have seen almost all the known 
flowers of the world, I am still of tin; opinion that it is mighty 
fine, striking and effective, and I have taken the trouble to gather 
up and have grown a collection of several varieties. The foliage 
of Oriental Poppies dies away in the summer and many think 
they are dead, but they will start into growth again in the fall. 
They are rather hard to establish, but once established, prove the 
most persistent perennial. 
Orientale. The type. Immense orange-red flowers, 8 to 12 inches 
in diameter. $1.50 per doz., $8 per 100. 
STOKESIA CYANEA 
(The Cornflower, or Stokes’ Aster) 
A most charming and beautiful native hardy plant, which for 
the past few seasons has been the most admired flower on our 
grounds. The plant grows from 18 to 24 inches high, bearing 
freely from early in July until late in October, its handsome 
lavender-blue centauren-like blossoms, which measure from 4 to 5 
inches across. It is of the easiest culture, succeeding in any 
open, sunny position, and not only is it desirable ns a single plant 
in the hardy border, but it can also be used with fine effect in 
masses or beds of any size. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $8 
per 100. 
This dainty charming evergreen plant is almost unknown in this 
country, but nothing is more worthy of general culture. In Mrs. 
Henry L. Higginson’s garden, perhaps the loveliest and certainly the 
most interesting garden in America, it is used in the greatest profu¬ 
sion and in a great variety of positions, and everywhere it is most 
charming. There are few more brilliant sights than masses of it in 
full beauty, and it is of easiest possible culture; dwarf and compact, 
bearing in great profusion flowers with fine diversity of color. It 
likes a light, well-drained soil. The colors range from white and 
yellow to deep crimson, with a great variety of lovely intermediate 
shades, 20 cts. each, $2 per doz.
