PAPAVER (Oriental Poppy) 
For commanding attention in a garden no Perennial out- 
rivals Poppies. They come into flower in late May and early 
June and their gorgeous shades of color stand out against 
all the surrounding plants. They thrive best in a reasonably 
rich soil and can be planted during the months of Septem- 
ber and October for flowering the following Spring. Plant 
different varieties in several shades of color for best effect.

giving a wealth of bloom on sturdy stems. 2’ feet. 
Helen Elizabeth—Crinkle-petaled; salmon-pink with no base 
spots. 
+Jeanne Mawson—A beautiful geranium-pink variety, attain- 
ing a height of about 2% feet. Fine, large flowers on strong, 
erect stems.

red which color attracts attention from every visitor to the

unique color and entirely distinct. Growing about 3 feet high,

scarlet blooms with large purplish blotch at the base of the 
petals. One of the finest and best known of the Oriental 
Poppies.

ering in June and July.

double salmon-orange Poppy with individual flowers 6 to 8 
inches across. Price: $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. 
PENTSTEMON (The Beard Tongue) 
+*Firebird—The flowers are foxglove-like, on stems about 18 
to 24 inches tall, and are fiery crimson overlaid with an 
orange sheen. The plant is easily grown, is free from insect 
pests, flowers freely, creates a brilliant effect in the flower 
garden, and is a cut flower par excellence. This plant is quite 
similar in growth to Pentstemon Garnet, flowering just as 
freely and is more hardy. 
+*Garnet—“Garnet” is of spreading habit and produces a suc- 
cession of bloom from June until frost. Flowers of rich gar- 
net color, gracefully placed on stems 12 to 18 inches tall. 
The plants have from six to a dozen spikes continually in 
flower. Excellent for cutting and last a week or more in 
water. 
+Rose Elf—An extremely hardy, compact, low-growing Pent- 
stemon seldom exceeding a height of 24 inches. Large, rose 
colored flowers produced in great profusion, with shiny ever- 
green foliage. Beautiful in the border and useful as a cut 
flower. This new variety of the Barbatus type is not to be 
confused with the less hardy but we think it is just as effec- 
tive. Price: 75c per plant, $7.50 per dozen. June-August.
