placing in permanent location. Usually blooms the first sea¬ 
son. Seed germinates very slowly. Mixed colors only. 
POPPY 
Annual Poppies should be sown as early as possible in the 
spring where they are to remain as they do not transplant 
readily. It is advisable to mix the seed with builder’s sand, 
using about 25 times as much sand as seed, and then carefully 
broadcast seed on the surface of the ground and firm well. 
Plants should be thinned out to stand about 6 inches apart 
for best results. Seed may be sown in rows also and in suc¬ 
cession up to the middle of May. 
NUDICAULE (Iceland Poppy). This hardy Poppy slightly re¬ 
sembles the delicately formed annual Shirley. However, the 
plants are somewhat different in habit and contain many 
shades of yellow and orange. 18 inches. Perennial. 
Poppy Nudicaule, Amurense Yellow Wonder 
This new very large flowered bright buttercup yellow Ice¬ 
land Poppy is an excellent running mate to The Emperor and 
The Empress. The stems are unusually long and wiry, 24 to 
26 inches in length and the flowers will keep as long as ten 
days when cut. It is somewhat later blooming than the Nudi¬ 
caule varieties, is much more heat and drought resistant than 
any other poppy and comes 100 per cent true to color. Pkt. 15c.

The Empress. To brighten the garden in early spring you 
could make no better choice than The Empress. It is distinct 
from all other strains, a remarkable new giant flowered Poppy 
which is excellent for cutting and delightful in the garden. 
The flowers are very large and well formed, with broad petals 
which are deeply fluted or wrinkled, giving a most delightful 
effect of semi-doubleness. In color it is unique; lovely shades 
of salmon rose and pink. Pkt. 15c. 
Sunbeam. Since it is more thrifty, with finer stems and hand¬ 
somer flowers, this is an improvement over the original Ice¬ 
land strain. The plants will produce flowers the first season 
from seed sown early. Mixed.

family. They are majestic in all their characteristics, have 
magnificent foliage, sturdy stems, huge cup-shaped flowers

cate airy picture as they nod in the slightest breeze. 18 inches.
