Iceland Poppies.
Very considerable improvements have been secured by careful and judicious selection in this very dainty class of poppies. Iceland poppies should not be confounded with annual varieties. The class under notice are perennials, and if sown early in spring they will flower the same season. They are quite hardy and most useful for table and other decorations. The new’ “Excelsior” strain contains a fine blending of all the new colours anil shades now available through careful selection. The flowers of the Iceland poppy are exceedingly graceful, and the delicate combinations of colours should secure for them a place in the garden.
