ORIENTAL 
Poppies 
Few flower lovers realize the great variation of color 
and form and the long length of the blooming season 
afforded by the poppy family. No other flower can 
compare with it in the ease of culture and the number 
of blooms produced from the little effort expended. 
Of the many poppy species, P. orientale is the long- 
lived perennial type which is becoming so popular be¬ 
cause of its hardiness, its freedom from disease, and 
its ease of culture. The gigantic flowers reach a diam¬ 
eter of ten inches and more and vary in color from sal¬ 
mon to pink, red to orange, and mulberry to white. 
The Oriental poppy has a blooming season of from 
six to seven weeks, producing occasional intermittent 
flowers throughout the summer and early fall. The 
plants are prodigious bloomers, even a young clump 
•bearing as many as six or more flowers, while an older 
established plant will bear a dozen and more. These 
flowers combine in happy association with others of 
their season, especially with the iris, and add a desired 
bit of striking color to the garden picture. 
Plant in summer and early fall.
