ICELAND • PAPAVER NUDICAULE 
•' While these are hardy perennials, they 
Ubwer the first year from spring-sown seed. 
They are of graceful habit, with fern-like 
foliage. The satin-like flowers are borne in 
endless profusion and are excellent for cut¬ 
ting. 1 ft. 
Yellow Wonder (Papaver nudicaule 
amurense). All-America winner. This 
new variety is, undoubtedly, the finest 
and largest-flowered Iceland Poppy to 
date. Its bright buttercup-yellow flow¬ 
ers, with a lighter center, are 4 to 
6 inches across, and the stems are often 
more than 2 feet long. Fine for cutting. 
The plant is of robust habit and free 
flowering, with as many as 30 flowers 
open at one time. Although a perennial, 
it will flower from seed the first season if 
sown early. We predict that this Ice¬ 
land Poppy will prove one of our choicest 
garden perennials. Pkt. 25c.; $1.00 per
