Shirley Poppies 
Dainty Single Shirley. In 
lovely shades of pink, terra-cotta, 
salmon, apricot, and white, many 
shaded and edged with other colors 
on slender, hairy stems—dainty 
flowers of a light, papery, silky 
texture, giving a wealth of color 
in the garden. Several sowings 
should be made for succession of 
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. 
15 cts., oz. 75 cts., Mlb. $2.

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

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 doul)le 
and finely fringed. 4 ft. Pkt. 35 cts., 5 pkts. $1.50, $3, oz. $10.

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.
