PAEONIA or PEONY

hogany. Dwarf rockery species. Pkt. 15c.

PANSY 
The offerings below have been chosen with careful thought, 
to cover the full range of Pansy needs ; and to the best of 
my belief, the quality of the seeds, and of the strains, is 
unexcelled by those from any other source whatsoever. 
PANSY EARLY FLOWERING HARDY—Hiemalis strain. 
Large flowers in fine color range, not quite complete, but 
about 12 color variations appearing. Exceptionally rugged. 
Will bloom earlier in the spring, and stand more hard 
weather, than any other Pansy I have seen. Pkt. 15c; 
% oz. for 85c. 
PANSY NEW FRAGRANT—A strain of giant-flowered 
Pansy, showing many rare colorings, and with the added 
charm of a tantalizing, spicy perfume. A selection from 
the Roggli, that has intensified the fragrance, without losing 
any of the rich tones, heavy texture, or great size of the 
flowers. Pkt. 25c. 
BABY PANSY—A new selection of dainty delight. The 
plants are of crowded bushy compactness, loaded with baby- 
size blossoms in the whole rich range of Pansy colorings 
and markings. The entire plant will not exceed four inches, 
no straggling, waving sprawliness here, and an edging of 
it will be a surprise in gentle beauty. It will even fit the 
well-tamed rockery. Pkt. 25c. # 
PANSY TRIUMPHANT—Here, if you grow it well, you 
will reach the ultimate in Pansy size; nothing beyond. The 
enormous blossoms are round in form, with broad, thick 
petals that so overlap as to make the flowers seem almost 
double, an effect enhanced by the curled and undulate mar¬ 
gins. The colors are brilliant and varied, running mostly 
to richer tones, and usually with a contrasting spot on each 
petal. Vigorous plants, robustly stemmed. Here are Pansy 
aristocrats. Pkt. 40c; ^ oz. $1.25 ; % oz. $2.25. # 
OFFER 121A8—One pkt. each of above for 90c. 
PAPAVER or POPPY

flowers can be more satisfactory for brilliant effects, than 
the Poppies.

Poppies in white, apricot pink, lemon and golden orange. 
Mixed only. Pkt. 20c.

PAPAVER CAUCASICUM—erx(2)16. Innumerable blossoms 
of daintiest pink with faint salmon suffusion, not far from 
apricot. Worth growing for the foliage rosettes alone, these 
of an exquisite silvery laciness. Highly desirable, though 
monocarpic. Pkt. 20c. # 
PAPAVER FLORIBUNDUM—erbx(2-3)36. Immensely flori- 
fer*us. Noble pyramids of bloom, in excellent deep orange,

PAPAVER PINK HYBRIDS—Seeds saved from named var¬ 
ieties of the salmon and pink group, in the “Oriental”

be good, and a fair proportion should show the desired 
pink coloring. Pkt. 15c. # 
OFFER 122A8—One pkt. each of above for $1.60. 
OFFER 123A8—One pkt. each of Papavers atlanticum, brac-
