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 2J feet in height and produces its flowers more profusely 

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

 which is weU shown in the illustration, when fuUy developed are 

 about 4 inches i.i 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.
