THE TULIP POPPY,—PAPAVER GLAUCUM. NEW TULIP POPPY. This magnificent Poppy -^vas originally sent from Armenia to Mr. Max Leiehtlin, the eminent German hybridizer. Its specific name refers to its bluish-green leaves, which are broadly pinnate or lobed. The plants grow vigorously twelve" to fourteen inches high, and make a most valuable addition to our decorative An- nuals. The perfect and striking flowers are iutenselv vivid in color : the two outer petals form a tulip-cup. in which the inner petals are erectly set, forming a pouch- like receptacle, s>;emingly to protect the anthers; after a time deep black >pots appear at the base of each petal. A mere description gives no adequate idea of the superb color-effect presented by a bed or clump of this grand new Poppy. The deeply glowing scarlet of the large flowers is such that one is"quickly reminded of the su- perb Due Vrya Thol Tulip ; hence the name—Tulip Poppy. Per pkt. 15 cts.; 2 pkts. for 25 cts.

The flowers at a distance have the effect of large, white, feathery balls, overcast with a rosv shade, while a close examination onlv discloses additionai beauties. Each plant has from three to five of the mag- nificent flowers open at one time, and of all Poppies°7 remains the longest in flower. Per pkt. 10 cts. THE MIKADO POPPY. This new charming sort is very distinct and strikinglv beautifu
