Oriental Oriental Poppies in the new hybrids show a distinct break 
Poppies from the vivid scarlet of the old type, which run the whole

blood-crimson and black-maroon. Perry's White is the most 
distinct break in these Poppies that has been made. The flowers 
are a pure satiny-white with a crimson-maroon blotch at the 
base of each petal. Edna Perry has a new variety with very 
large soft salmon-pink flowers. Mahonoy is a deep mahogany- 
maroon, a color rarely found in perennials. Mary Stiidholme 
is one of the best of the recent introductions. Pure salmon

Victoria Louise is another fine Poppy, soft salmon-rose, the best
