NEW ORIENTAL POPPY. 

 Papaver Orientalis Princess Victoria Louise. 



A remarkable pretty new color in this popular and showy 

 class of plants, which on account of its rich, and at the 

 same time tender salmon pink color, appeals as a most strik- 

 ing novelty and as a valuable addition to our limited list of 

 varieties. It has been extensively shown at all of the prominent 

 continental European horticultural exhibitions during the 

 past two summers, where it attracted much attention, and 

 received many awards. 75 cents each ; $7.50 per dozen.

 transplant Oriental Poppies from the field in the spring. The stock 

 which we offer is all one-year old field-grown, which was lifted and 

 potted up into 4-inch pots during August when the plants were

 they can be transplanted without any check to their growth. 75
