BETTER SEEDS ARE HERE AGAIN 
Shirley Poppies 
We recommend September and October as 
the best time tc sow, as Poppies stand a great 
deal of cold weather. 
A. Both single and double varieties are very 
desirable for bedding and borders. The lovely 
large blooms have a beautiful silk-like crinkled 
texture, and many fine colors are included. 
Very easy to grow. 
15093—TULIP FLOWERED. The single flowers 
are bright scarlet. and tulip-shaped. Pkt., 10c; 
3 pkts., 25c, postpaid. 
FALL PLANTING 
A greater variety of flowers may be 
enjoyed throughout the coming year by 
making liberal plantings this fall of the 
kinds listed on these pages. Many of our 
best flowers should be planted in the 
fall, and we are usually disappointed in 
them if we delay their planting until 
spring. Plant your seeds in well pre- 
pared beds, and do not cover too 
deeply. A good rule to follow for small 
seeds is not to cover them more than 
four times the thickness of the seed.
