ORIENTAL POPPY 
POPPY 
Annual Poppies should be sown as early as possible in the 
spring where they are to remain as they do not transplant 
readily. It is advisable to mix the seed with builder’s sand, 
using about 25 times as much sand as seed, and then carefully 
broadcast seed on the surface of the ground and firm well. 
Plants should be thinned out to stand about 6 inches apart 
for best results. Seed may be sown in rows also and in suc¬ 
cession up to the middle of May. 
NUDICAULE (Iceland Poppy). This hardy Poppy slightly re¬ 
sembles the delicately formed annual Shirley. However, the 
plants are somewhat different in habit and contain many 
shades of yellow and orange. 18 inches. Perennial.

The Emperor. One of the finest Iceland Poppies yet intro¬ 
duced. Color is deep tangerine orange with long straight 
stems, making it ideal for cutting. Large fluted flowers.

which are deeply fluted or wrinkled, giving a most delightful

of salmon rose and pink. Pkt. 15c. 
Amurense Yellow Wonder. This new very large flowered 
bright buttercup yellow Iceland Poppy is an excellent running

usually long and wiry, 24 to 26 inches in length and the flow¬ 
ers will keep as long as ten days when cut. Pkt. 15c.
