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 conditions, they are at their best if 
grown in a light, well-manured soil, and are most effective in masses. 
SCHING’S SELECT IMPROVED SHIRLEY POPPIES in new tints; an exceedingly beautiful 
Straina RKt Zoe 20z9,) 50/4, Ibs S5.00) 
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., 15c; oz., 75c; VY Ib., $2.00. 
DOUBLE SHIRLEY POPPY. Camellia Flowered Mixed. An outstanding strain, flowers 
resembling Camellias. -Pkt., 25c; oz., $1.00.

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 in the soil. Scatter a few seeds in your rockery for a pretty effect.
