ORIENTAL POPPIES 
I 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 the opinion that it is mighty fine, striking and 
effective, and I have taken the trouble to gather tip 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 estab¬ 
lish, but, once established, prove the most persistent perennial.

HELIANTHEMUM MUTABILE 
This dainty, charming evergreen plant is almost unknown in this 
country, but nothing is more worthy of general culture. In Mrs. 
Henry L. Higginsoti’s garden, perhaps the loveliest and certainly the 
most interesting garden in America, it is used in the greatest pro¬ 
fusion 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, dwarf and compact, hearing 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 va¬ 
riety of lovely intermediate shades. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
SAXIFRAGA CORDIFOLIA

spring. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz.

tected with a covering of leaves during winter. 25 cts. each, $2.50

This is the wild species from which all the fine large-flowered Phlox

which makes it available for naturalizing. We have seen it per¬ 
fectly happy growing wild in the tall grass of a meadow where it had 
never received any attention whatever. The plant grows about .'1 
feet high and has large heads of rosy purple flowers. 15 cts. each, 
$1.25 per doz., $7 per 100.
