But here we have the of the celebrated artist, Mr. Wm. Momberger, of New York, who, while at Fordhook Farm in July last, painted from nature the beautiful flowers which adorn front of our Catalogue cover. These serve as a "colored plate," yet, to secure harmony of color, Mr. Momberger could only paint a few of the many shades existing in this grand strain. Besides the soft, pleasing colors he painted, there are also rich, glowing reds, including the most brilliant lustrous carmine. They are of The Ranun- culus-flowered type, and the flowers are mostly double 2x1^ semi-double. To be quite sure that this strain was entirely distinct, we made a careful test in our trial grounds of Ranun- culus-flowered Poppies from both French and German Seedsmen, and were delighted to find that The Golden Gate Poppies were, as we had believed, incomparably superior to any others and altogether unique in the wondrous variety and richness of bloom. They are also remarkable for their early and free-flowering habit—our bed of them was gorgeously brilliant throughout June and July. Per pkt. 15 cts.; 2 pkts. for 25 cts. J^PPCtlAL OFFER certainly no other Poppies and few flowers of any kind can equal The ^ ^* ' Golden Gate, Fairy Blush and Shirley Poppies in brilliancy and beauty. We •will mail the three varieties, one packet of each, for 25 cts., as we want all our customers to have them. Simply scatter the seed in the open ground and a mass of beauty -will result without any care. 93. Please note that these images are extracted from sc
