SHIRLEY POPPY 
PAPAVER. These are old fashioned firs, but how 
showy and beautiful they are! Once in the gar¬ 
den they mostly take care of themselves. The 
large ones are as handsome as Paeonies, and 
quite as showy and pleasing, while the single 
firs exhibit a wonderful variety of shades and 
variegations, and are always admired. In garden 
beds and borders they are truly gorgeous, and 
a few seeds scattered about the vegetable beds 
make bright and beautiful the vegetable garden 
without detriment to the growing plants. Pop¬ 
pies should adorn every home and it pays to 
use only the improved varieties, such as we 
offer. The seeds may be sown either in Fall or 
early Spring. Do not let the plants crowd if you 
would have the best results.
