PAPAVER ORIENTALE 



The Large Oriental Poppies 



These are the regal representatives of this popular genus, grow- 

 ing 3 to 3| 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 flower- 

 ing 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 

 soU 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 fall, 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 cultivating the beds that the 

 roots are not disturbed, any disturbance at this time usually re- 

 sulting in failure.

New Double-flowering 



Oriental Poppy 



"Olympia" 



NEW DOUBLE-FLOWERING 

 ORIENTAL POPPY "OLYMPIA" 



While double and semi-double forms of the Oriental Poppy are 

 mentioned in some of the horticultural text-books, we have never 

 seen such until our attention was called to the variety here offered 

 by one of our correspondents in Maine who has grown it for several 

 years, but who has been unable to furnish us with any definite 

 data of its origin. 



We take pleasure in offering it, believing it to be one of the most 

 interesting and distinct novelties yet introduced. 



The plant is of strong, vigorous habit, but of compact growth not 

 exceeding 2| feet in height and produces its flowers more profusely 

 than any other variety known to us; these flowers, the form of 

 which is well shown in the Ulustration, when fxilly developed are 

 about 4 inches in diameter; when first opening full double, but 

 show a slight centre with a bunch of stamens as they mature. 

 In color it is a brilliant rich flame scarlet overlaid with an iridescent 

 glistening golden salmon; a brilliant golden sunset, one of our 

 artist friends called the color. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



PapaVer Nudicaule (Iceland Poppies) 



The plant is of neat habit, forming a tuft of bright green fern- 

 like foliage, from which spring, throughout the entire season, a 

 profusion of slender leafless stems 1 foot high, each graced with 

 charming cup-shaped flowers, in yellow, orange and white. We 

 can supply these in choicest mixture only. 30 cts. each; $2.50 

 per doz.; $18.00 per 100.
