ANNUAL POPPIES 
Sow the seeds where you want them to grow because it is difficult to 
transplant them. While they grow everywhere and under almost all con¬ 
ditions, they are at their best if grown in a light, well-manured soil, and are 
most effective in masses. 
Schling’s New Double Hybrids 
Beautifully fringed. Its greatest value lies in the substance or lasting 
qualities of its flowers. While other Poppies will last but a few days when 
cut, this variety will last for fully a week in a vase. The blooms are as large 
as peonies, and appear mostly in soft shades of pink, white, red, terra-cotta, 
some of them beautifully striped and penciled, nearly all of them double 
and finely fringed. 4 ft. Pkt. 35 cts., 5 pkts. $1.50, Koz. $3, oz. $10. 
Double Hybrid Shirley. (New.) A remarkable improvement, with 
blooms of greater size and substance than the parent, and in many new and 
varied color tints. A bed of this new strain is a lovely sight. Sow in the open. 
Pkt. 35 cts., 3 pkts. $1. 
Double-feathered. (New.) Luminous dark scarlet flowers on velvety 
ground, puffed and fluffy like a ball of feathers, of gigantic size, often 73^

Dainty Single Shirley. In lovely shades of pink, terra-cotta, salmon,

hairy stems—dainty flowers of a light, papery, silky texture, giving a wealth

blooms. Sow broadcast where intended to flower, as they do not transplant 
well. A beautiful effect can be had by intersowing with our double blue 
cornflower. Pkt. 25 cts., oz. 75 cts., ^lb. $2.

PORTULACA 
Portulacas must have a sunny situation but they grow well in almost 
any soil. They are but 4 inches high, of spreading habit, and form a dense, 
thick carpet when grown in beds. They bloom most freely all through the 
summer and fall. As an undergrowth for gladiolus, roses, or other tall plants, 
they are very effective. Sow them broadcast and press the seed into the 
soil. Scatter a few seeds in your rockery and you will have a pretty effect.
