New Oriental Poppies 



No flower can draw more instant attention and leave more 

 lasting and pleasing impression than a bed of carefully selected 

 Oriental Poppies. Either singly or in mass, they give a touch 

 of barbaric splendor offered by no other flower. For five years 

 we have been carefully selecting new and better varieties which 

 show superior merit and advancement over older types. For 

 the first time, we are in position to offer in quantity a selected list 

 of new varieties, each one of which is distinctly superior. 

 FLANDERS — Considered one of the best new oxblood red va- 

 rieties; a rare new shade in Poppies. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.69. 

 LULA A. NEELEY — This variety is our favorite. Good strong 

 stems support flowers of brilliant oxblood red, the color holding 

 until the last. We predict that this variety will become the 

 most popular Poppy in America within a few years. $1 .50 each ; 

 3 for $3.98.

An excellent keeper when cut. $1 .00 each ; 3 for $2.69.

 for several years, it is not widely distributed. A bright clear 

 pink color combined with vigorous growth makes Mrs. Perry 

 one of the most beautiful varieties. 50c each; 3 for $1.39. 

 ORANGE QUEEN — We offer a selected type of this popular 

 orange variety. Vigorous in growth and very early. 30c. 

 each; 3 for 79c.

 eties of pure white to deepest maroon, through intermediate
