Poppies 
ORIENTAL POPPIES 
Spring planting, unless done very early 
from pot-grown plants, should not be at¬ 
tempted. Their dormant season is during 
August and September, at which time they 
are easily transplanted. 
Beauty of Livermere. Deep oxblood-red of 
dazzling, barbaric splendor. 
Mrs. Perry. A curious shade of orange- 
apricot. The best of all the pink Poppies.

boughs.

PHLOX divaricate®© 
BLUE PHLOX 
A native species commencing to bloom in 
April through May, with large, fragrant, lav¬ 
ender-blue flowers on 10-inch stems. Fine 
to associate with pink and yellow tulips. 
Phlox Paniculatci 
For brilliant, bold color effects in mass 
during the late summer and autumn, the 
Hardy Phlox are indispensable. They pro¬ 
duce dazzling color at a time when there is 
little else to depend on. Next to irises and 
peonies, they are the most useful hardy 
plants we have, filling in, as they do, the 
gap between early summer- and the fall¬ 
blooming plants. They will grow and 
bloom almost anywhere; however, they are 
gross feeders and if given rich soil and 
plenty of moisture, best results can be ob¬ 
tained. They should be divided and re¬ 
planted at least every third year. The im¬ 
mense size and perfect form of new varie¬ 
ties will be a revelation to those who know 
only the old-fashioned kinds.
