The Burbank Poppies 
(Shirley) 
Perhaps there is no production of Mr. 
Burbank which is as well known as the 
Burbank Shirley Poppies. The Burbank 
strain of Shirley Poppies is acknowledged 
to be the superior of all other Shirley 
Poppies grown. These strains have been 
most carefully built up to their present 
acknowledged superiority by more than 
twelve years' rigid selection on his part. 
The flowers are extra large and the petals 
most beautifully crimped. Colors have 
been selected with scientific accuracy. 
The Burbank Shirley poppies may be 
considered the most beautiful of all. 
No other flower will produce such an 
array of gorgeous brilliant colors. The 
variety of shades is very wide and are ex- 
tremely dainty and perfect. The foliage 
is soft and feathery, while the petals re- 
mind one of silky crepe paper. These 
poppies are easily groAvn and a source of 
much satisfaction to the amateur.
