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 23 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 illustration, when fully 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.
