The Empress. Truly queen of the Iceland family. Distinct from all other 
strains, it is remarkable, first, for flower form—large, full, well formed 
flowers, with broad overlapping petals deeply fluted or wrinkled, 
giving an effect almost of doubleness, an illusion which is most de¬ 
lightful. Secondly, the color range is unique lovely shades of salmon 
rose and creamy pinks never before seen in Nudicaule Poppies, fas¬ 
cinating tones to intrigue the imagination. The flowers are carried 
on good strong stems, which make them fine for cutting. 
Tr. Pkt.25c Oz.$2.00 
The Emperor. Without a doubt the best orange iceland Poppy avail¬ 
able, the same type as The Empress, with extremely large fluted 
petaled flowers, many with an extra row of petals. The color is re¬ 
markably true, the same shade as our El Monte, deep tangerine orange, 
but the flowers are larger, and are borne on very long strong stems. 
We highly recommend The Emperor. Tr. Pkt.25c Oz.$2.00 
Red Cardinal. The closest approach to that much-sought-after color in 
an Iceland Poppy, crimson scarlet. This novelty is as large-flowered 
as other Nudicaule sorts, and its intensity of color makes it a welcome 
addition to Iceland Poppies. Tr. Pkt.50c
