AUGLAIZE GARDENS 
VAN WERT, OHIO 
Occasionally in looking over a 
field of flowers, some one plant will be 
so outstanding for some reason or an¬ 
other that you are drawn to it in¬ 
stinctively. Sometimes this is due to 
the strong color of the flower, but more 
often to the sheer beauty of it. This 
is the way one of Dr. Neeley’s new 
poppies affects us every time we have 
seen it blooming in our fields. We 
know from the remarks that many of 
our visitors have made to us that 
many of them are as much taken with 
it as we are. 
We have in mind the variety Echo, 
which is one of a group which we in¬ 
troduced a few years ago. This flower 
is a soft silvery pink with a peculiar 
irridescense that causes it to stand out 
at once and which to some extent de¬ 
fies our powers of description. The 
flower is large, often 8 to 10 inches, 
and is well carried on a strong, stiff 
stem. It holds up well and is quite 
good even when cut. 
A few years ago Echo sold at 
$25.00 but we now have sufficient stock 
that we can offer it at a much more 
reasonable price. This year we will 
have some nice strong plants at $7.50. 
However, the stock is not so great that 
we would advise you putting off order-
