51 MAHONIA BLEND 
Easy low shrubs of highest ornamental values and fullest

flections. As cold weather approaches, the bronze domin¬ 
ates, enriching until it is almost a maroon by mid-winter. 
In spring there are handsome yellow blossoms in heavy 
clusters, and then great bunches of purple berries from 
which a delicious jelly may be made. Seeds sown in early 
spring germinate readily. This is a mixture of the three 
kinds. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 25c.

fluted, silk-crinkly blossoms in melting tones of lemon, pink

generic hybrid, a cross of Malva Setosa and Althaea Rosea.

MECONOPSIS or BLUE POPPY 
The Blue Poppies are not the easiest flowers in the world 
to grow, but in the race for most beautiful, they would 
rank so high in their color group that a bit of fussiness in 
starting them, is quite excusable. Autumn sowing is best 
for them, or refrigerator treatment if sown in spring. We 
think of Meconopsis as blue, but it will be noted that there 
are other colors.
