ORIENTAL POPPIES 
Without question the most dazzling and showy of all hardy pere¬ 
nnials in point of color and size. The Oriental Poppies bring the 
o-orgeous and brilliant colors of the Par Past silks to our gardens. 
They grow from three to four feet tall and far surpass the annual 
and biannual kinds in size, splendor and effectivness. 
The

growth 
reason so many people fail to succeed with the Oriental 
is because they do not understand the simple requirements 
plant, which is almost the reverse of most plants. The roots 
only be transplanted during the dormant season which is 
Juiy, August and September. The plant makes a leafy 
during the cool fall months which is very neces-sary. This 
growth in evergreen and in spring the flowering stems appear and 
after blooming the top apparently dies which is the natural rest 
period of the plant. This dormant season is tlie* only period at 
which field grown plants can be moved. They do well in any or¬ 
dinary deep soil and increase in size and number of blooms from 
vear to rear. Cover lightly with evergreen boughs or light hay 
ihe first winter after planting. We are listing only such varieties 
as we know are the cream of the entire list. All strong _’->eai old 
field grown plants. 
Poppy plants are shipped during July. Aug. and Sept. ONTA
