Unsurpassed for cutting, as they keep much longer than the ordinary Poppy. There is no easier plant to raise from seed than the Poppy, and a good breadth of the Brilliant in the garden border will make it bright and gay. Pkt., 15c. mm & fi, MEET 55 KIM raPETOAL RAISED FROM SEED. J T IS a shrubby, woody plant of 1 perennial character. The leaves are deeply cleft into long, narrow lobes which are coarsely toothed; the lobes or divisions are wide spreading. The foliage of the plant is quite peculiar and strik- ing: in appearance. The plant is an early and continuous bloomer and the bell-shaped flowers are of remarkably large size, being from 6 to 9 inches in diameter. The color is a rich deep cream with maroon center of velvety appearance, each petal having a dark maroon blotch at the base, making a magnificent flower of great beauty. While the individual flowers are so large and handsome, it is a matter of surprise that the plant can produce from ten to fifteen of these splendid great blooms at one time. Still more so that the season of blooming should be continuous, for the plants com- mence quite young and continue uiftil checked by the frosts of autumn. The plants are easily raised from seeds, and, in order to have the benefit of the whole j season these should be started early in the greenhouse, frame or window so that the plants may be fairly well developed in time to set out early in the garden border,
