CLAUCIUM PEERLESS BLEND 
These delightful poppy-cousins would be worth growing 
for their flowers, were their foliage of the ugliest; and 
worth growing for their foliage, were their flowers merit¬ 
less. Actually, of course, they are treasured alike for their 
exquisitely silk-textured blossoms of lemon, buff, gold, 
orange or scarlet, — and for their decoratively feathered 
tangles of silver-frosted leafage. Sown early, will often 
bloom first year, but may be sown as late as September 
for bloom the following summer. Height variable, 12 to 36 
inches. So easy, it takes genius to fail with them.
