. Dreer's garden book : 1905. Seeds Catalogs; Nursery stock Catalogs; Gardening Equipment and supplies Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Fruit Seeds Catalogs. Pentstemon Sensation. Shirley Poppy. Petunia Rosy Mokn. THE GOEDEN POPPY. 8716 In this novelty we have a disiinct break from existing sorts. The golden foliage of the plants in the young state look exactly like the well-known Pyrethrum aureum, or Golden Feather, and are quite ornamental from the start. After ihe flowers are produced, which are quite double and of various red shades, the effect is very novel. The plants grow about a foot high, and the flowers are thrown well above the golden foliage. As easy to grow as an ordinary Poppy. 15 cts. per pkt.; -1 pkts., 25 Cts. NEW HYBRID ICEEAND POPPIES. 3735 Beautiful new hybrids of this lovely hardy species. The colors vary from suijihur-yellow through different shades of orange to chamois and salmony- rose. In most cases the coloring is most intense on the outside of the petals, tiius showing off the new colors to greatest advantage; as desirable for the hardy border as they are for cutting. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. DREER'S SEEECT SHIREEY POPPIES. 3696 This is an extra select strain of these charming Poppies. They are single and occasionally semi-double, and range in color from the purest glistening white through the most delicate shades and lints of pale pink, rose and car- mine to the deepest crimson and blood-red. while many are daintily edged and striped. In fact, so varied are they that scarcely any two flowers are exactly alike. They should be sown in the open border where they are to remain; very thinly and barely covered, preferably after a shower or in cloudy weather; they come up in a few days and are soon a mass of bloom. It is well to make several sowings at intervals in the same bed to keep up a succession of bloom. The flowers, if picked just before expanding, will last for several days, 10 cts. per pkt ; 3 pkts
