BRIAR. H. A. We think this the prettiest 
Shirley Poppy grown today. Beautiful double

deep rose pink. Not one of this year’s intro¬

failed to get its proper share of publicity when 
introduced, so not generally known by the gar¬ 
deners. The blooms are fully double resembling 
a Begonia. Will make a fine cut flower when 
the blooms are cut in the bud. Stems are

veined a rich wine red deepening

I thought you would be 
interested to know that the 
Guinea Marigold seeds pro¬ 
duced plants fifty inches tall, 
flowers three inches across. 
In fact they are superior to 
nursery plants that I’ve 
seen.”
