. Burpee's novelties for 1890. Nursery stock Pennsylvania Philadelphia Catalogs; Flowers Pennsylvania Catalogs; Vegetables Pennsylvania Catalogs; Seeds Pennsylvania Catalogs. 98 W. ATLEE BURPEE & CO., PHILADELPHIA. BURPEE'S. FAIRY BLUSH POPPY. This distinct new Poppy, first named and intro- duced by us last year, is the most desirable of all double poppies. Few poppies can equal it in beauty and no others remain nearly so long in flower. Our field of these the past summer pre- sented one continuous succession of flowers for fully two months, and it was the admiration of all visitors. The immense globular flowers are per- fectly double, and measure from ten to thirteen inches in circumference; the petals are elegantly fringed and pure white, except at the tips, where they are distinctly colored with rosy cream ; a li^ht shading of lemon at the ba?e of the central petals gives the flowers an appearance of great depth. The flowers at a little distance have the effect of large white feathery balls overcast with a rosy shade, whilea close examination only discloses additional beauties. The artist, while at Fordhook making sketches, suggested the name of Rosy Wave, as descriptive of the unique appearance of the enormous flowers, borne on long stems, gently waving in the breeze. The foliage grows only twelve to fourteen inches in height, above which the flowers are borne on stems six to eight inches long. Each plant has from three to hve of tlie magnificent flowers open at one time.
