ORIENTAL POPPIES 



AMUN RA Each 75c 



Red-orange, 28 to 30 inches high, flowers 8-9 inches across. Outstanding 

 quality. 



ENCHANTRESS Each $1.00 



Soft lilac-rose, a near approach to lavender. Opens perfectly, holds its 

 color remarkably well for this shade. A true novelty of exceptional 

 merit. Only a very few plants. 



HENRI CAYEUX Each 75c 



Deep old rose, shaded into wine color. An unusual and very beautiful 

 poppy quite unlike any other. Should be grown in a spot protected 

 from hot afternoon sun. 



JEANIE MAWSON 



Each 75c 



Melting peach-pink, very lovely and quite different from all others in 

 its most attractive coloring. Large and fine. 



KING GEORGE Each 50c 



Large fringed flowers of brilliant scarlet, petals deeply cut like a parrot 

 tulip. Medium height, fast increaser. 



MANDARIN Each $1 .00 ; 3 for $2.00 



Appropriately colored Chinese red, of great size. There are no basal 

 spots on the huge flowers. Seldom listed, it was declared by many of 

 our visitors last year to be the finest and most spectacular poppy of all. 



MASTERPIECE Each $1.00 



Lilac color, marvelous flower, but should be grown with slight pro- 

 tection from the sun to prevent fading of the delicate color. 



MRS. FISCHER Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Extra large, very deep red poppy on the tallest stems of any in our 

 collection. It will easily reach 4 feet regularly, with uniformly perfect 

 flowers, silky in texture, one of the very best at any price. 



OLYMPIA Each 25c ; 3 for 50c 



A fluffy double poppy of soft orange, with gray stamens in the center. 

 Very free bloomer, and the only double variety in the list. Increases 

 very rapidly by runners, so plant away from other varieties. 



PEARL PINK Each $1.00 



Very fine and distinct; a delicate shade of light pearly pink, vigorous 

 and prolific. Appears like one large tulip within a larger one. Its delicate 

 color cannot stand the strong reds and bright salmons, and to see it at 

 its best, should be planted with blue iris or an early delphinium. Stock 

 limited. Medium height. 



PERFECTION Each $1.00 



Large deep flowers, entrancing shade of pink with immense black spots 

 at base. 



PERRY'S BLUSH Each $1.00 



Blush white, beautifully formed and a profuse flowering variety. Stock 

 of this is quite scarce. 



PROSPERINE Each $1.00 



Most brilliant Chinese red, the center alive with black stamens. Of 

 great size, flowering over a very long period. Shown on page 25. 



QUEEN LOUISE Each 75c 



A melting strawberry pink flower of good finish, with prominent black 

 and red base spots. To 40 inches tall. 



RED LACQUER 



Each $1.50 



A new deep dark red, of strong appeal. Stiff erect stems to 44 inches 

 tall. Blooms 7 to Q inches across. Well named. 



SPLENDOUR Each $1.00 



Brilliant, huge, entirely novel in color, this blend of peach and apricot, 

 entirely overlaid salmon, is unlike any poppy we have ever seen. Very 

 late, and a vigorous grower. 



WATTEAU Each 75c 



Pure flesh-coral ; covered with flowers. No blotch on petals. This is one 

 of the rarest and loveliest in our list. 



WURTEMBERGIA Each $1.00 



Enormous cerise scarlet; very tall growing. An outstanding flower, 

 attaining almost unbelievable size. 



Here is a special note: Poppy plants are rather unusual things to look 

 upon when they arrive from the nursery, and hceause they have no top i \ 

 when dormant, some folks may doubt their quality or ability to grow. ' 

 Look for the end with the tiny white buds — plant it upright, water it, and 

 before long the fcrn-likc foliage will appear.
