New Double-flowering Oriental Poppy "Olympia" NEW DOUBLE-FLOWERING ORIENTAL POPPY "OLYMPIA" While double and semi-double forms of the Oriental Poppy are mentioned in some of the horticultural text-books, we have never seen such until our attention was called to the variety here offered by one of our correspondents in Maine who has grown it for several years, but who has been unable to furnish us with any definite data of its origin. We take pleasure in offering it, believing it to be one of the most interesting and distinct novelties yet introduced. The plant is of strong, vigorous habit, but of compact growth not exceeding 2| feet in height and produces its flowers more profusely than any other variety known to us; these flowers, the form of which is well shown in the Ulustration, when fxilly developed are about 4 inches in diameter; when first opening full double, but show a slight centre with a bunch of stamens as they mature. In color it is a brilliant rich flame scarlet overlaid with an iridescent glistening golden salmon; a brilliant golden sunset, one of our artist friends called the color. 50 cts. each; $ per doz. PapaVer Nudicaule (Iceland Poppies) The plant is of neat habit, forming a tuft of bright green fern- like foliage, from which spring, throughout the entire season, a profusion of slender leafless stems 1 foot high, each graced with charming cup-shaped flowers, in yellow, orange and white. We can supply these in choicest mixture only. 30 cts. each; $ per doz.; $ per 100. Hardy Hibiscus (Rosemallow or Marshmallow) We illustrate these fine hardy plants in colors and offer them on page 192. Dreer's Matchless Hardy Phlox Illustrated in colors and offered on page 193.
