PAPAVER ORIENTALE 



The Large Oriental Poppies 



These are the regal representatives of this popular genus, 

 growing 3 to 31 feet high, and far surpassing in splendor of bloom 

 the annual and biennial kinds, and for a gorgeous display of rich 

 and brilliant coloring nothing equals them during their period of 

 flowering in May and June, and whether planted singly or in 

 masses their large flowers and freedom of bloom renders them 

 conspicuous in any position. They are of the easiest culture; 

 almost any kind of soil suits them, but they do best in deep, rich 

 loam; set the plants out in early spring or fall— give them water 

 occasionally during dry spells in the early part of the season; 

 mulch with stable litter in faU, and they will increase in size and 

 floriferousness for several years. After flowering the plants die 

 back, usually reappearing in early September, or as soon as the 

 weather gets cool. During this resting period care should be 

 taken in ctJtivating the beds that the roots are not disturbed, 

 any disturbance at this time usually resulting in failure.

 charming cup-shaped flowers. We offer them in three colors, viz. : 

 white, yellow and orange-scarlet, or in mixture. 30 cts. each; 

 $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 per 100.
