ORIENTAL POPPY PRICE LIST FOR 1935 
F OLLOWING the same practice as we have with our Peonies we are grouping: our i 
Oriental Poppies into two classifications. In the first classification we have = 
those varieties which we feel and which experience has shown us are satisfactory j 
flowers in every respect and which we feel should form the backbone of any Oriental 
Poppy planting. Among these are many of the newer Neeley seedlings which in 
time are going to be recognized as our very finest of Oriental Poppies. There is no 
question that Dr. Neeley was America’s foremost hybridizer of Oriental Poppies and 
when some of his newer varieties are better known they are going to take their' 
place at the head of Oriental Poppies. His Lulu A. Neeley is too well known to 
require comment. His Mary J. Miller, we feel, when it is better known is going to 
take its place alongside of Lulu A. Neeley as the finest of the pink poppies. 
Enchantress on the other hand and Ophir Gold represent the outstanding flowers 
in their particular color classification. 
You will make no mistake if you make your selection from List No. 1. Each 
flower hi this list is outstanding. It has proven its merit and we have grown them 
long enough that we can heartily recommend them. List No. 2 is offered in order 
that those who have the varieties in List No. 1 may obtain a greater selection if 
they so desire. However, if your planting is limited in size we see no reason that 
you should resort to List No. 2. The varieties in this list are in all cases either 
very similar to some other variety in List No.l or are varieties which are not 
strong growers and not quite as reliable. In this list, of course, are included some 
other new varieties with which we have had but a limited experience but which) 
further test may show us should be in List No. 1. It is our policy to always place 
in this list any new variety until we have grown it a sufficiently long time that we 
may know its characteristics and can tell whether or not we wish to whole-heartedly 
recommend it. So from time to time if you follow these lists each year you will 
note that we will occasionally remove some varieties from the second list and place 
them in the first. 
Our stock of the varieties in List No. 2 is not very large. We merely offer 
them as supplementary varieties in case you already have a large selection or in 
case you feel that only one of these flowers can give you the particular shade that 
you want. In most cases make your selection from List No. 1 and you will find 
that you will be completely satisfied. 
All roots supplied are strong field-grown plants, in almost all cases two-year-old I 
plants, and are shipped during the dormant season, August and September. We 1 
do not offer pot-rooted cuttings for spring planting as we feel that while cheaper I 
they are unsatisfactory in most gardens and the loss in planting them is so great j 
that we do not recommend their use. 
LIST NO. 1 
Australia—A large massive flower of 
oxblood red, carried on a heavy 
stem. An outstanding flower which 
is worthy of being classed with Lula 
A. Neeley and Wurtembergia.$ 1.50 
Beacon Flame (a Neeley introduc¬ 
tion)—A fine dark red which might 
be called an early Lulu A. Neeley . 5.00 
Cavalier (a Neeley introduction)_ 
Cerise, somewhat similar in color 
and form to Wurtembergia, but a 
larger flower and lasts longer. The 
flower is wonderfully formed, of re¬ 
markable substance, is carried on a 
long stiff stem. An outstanding 
poppy in the red class . 5.00 
Echo (a Neeley introduction)—This 
poppy is quite different from other 
pink poppies and is very attractive. 
The color is a light silvery pink 
with a light maroon blotch—one of 
our favorites of the entire group .. 7.50 
Edna Perry — A lovely bright pink 
flower, opening a little later than 
Mrs. Perry. A vigorous grower. 50 
Enchantress (a Neeley introduction) 
—The color of this wonderful poppy 
is a soft lilac rose and by some ob¬ 
servers might be termed lavender. 
Enchantress is a seedling of Mas¬ 
terpiece. It is as distinctive in color 
as its parent, but always opens per¬ 
fectly, does not fade as quickly and 
is just a little deeper in color. It 
has none of the faults of Master¬ 
piece and all of its good qualities. 
Enchantress is a distinct improve¬ 
ment in poppies of this type and 
will prove extremely popular . 7.50 
Enfield Beauty—Cerise pink. 75 
Field Marshal General von der Goltz 
—Said to be the finest white poppy 
in cultivation, tall large and robust, 
stock very limited, small plants_25.00 
Flanders—Deep crimson, almost ox- 
blood red . 75 
Grossfurst—Deep crimson, and coal- 
black spot . 50 
Harmony—A distinct deep rose color 
with lavendar cast. Very unusual. 
Small plants . 2.50 
Henri Cayeux—Old rose or wine color, 
should be protected a little from di¬ 
rect sun . 1,50 
Hercules — A flame-red four-petaled 
flower of immense size . 75 
Jeanne Mawson—A fine large peach- 
pink that is very satisfactory. 75 
June Delight (a Neeley introduction) 
—A large, bright silvery pink flower, 
the color of which improves with 
age. This plant is so outstanding 
among the pink poppies that even 
greater popularity is predicted for 
it than the famous Lula A. Neeley, 
Dr. Neeley’s best known variety ...20.00 
Lady Moore — A beautiful shade of 
salmon pink . 2.00 
Lord Lambourne — A fire-red color 
and lacinated flower, which always 
stands out. Finely divided foliage, 
vigorous grower. 75 
Lula A. Neeley (a Neeley introduc¬ 
tion) — Beyond question the finest 
red poppy grown today and not 
surpassed by any other for clarity 
of color, freedom of bloom and 
good habit of the plant. A good 
cut flower.75 
Mahony — Mahogany purple, an odd 
color but has a tendency to fade in 
the sun .75 
Mandarin — A true Chinese red of 
good size and fine substance. Vigor¬ 
ous grower . 1,50 
Mary J. Miller (a Neeley introduc¬ 
tion)—The latest of Dr. Neeley’s in¬ 
troductions and we feel one that 
may turn out to be his finest. The 
flower is very large, of an intense 
shade of geranium pink and is car¬ 
ried on tall stiff stems. An early 
prolific bloomer. Outstanding in 
every respect. 20.00 
Masterpiece—A lilac pink flower of 
good size, quite different from most 
other poppies. It has the unfortun¬ 
ate habit of not opening well and 
of fading when exposed to sunlight 1.50 
Mrs. Perry — A popular salmon-pink 
of good form and is a vigorous 
grower . 50 
Ophir Gold (a Neeley introduction)— 
A light orange, we feel the best 
flower of its color class yet intro¬ 
duced . 7.50 
Perry’s Blush—The best of the white 
or near white poppies. Its coloring 
could be termed ashy white. It has 
a stiff stem and is a good grower. 
A much more reliable flower and 
better grower than Perry’s White, 
which it closely resembles . 3.50 
Proserpine—A fine cerise flower which 
when well grown very much resem¬ 
bles Wurtembergia, but lacks the 
substance and clear color of the lat¬ 
ter and does not weather as well .. .50 
Purity (a Neeley introduction)—A 
beautiful soft pink without spots or 
blemishes. It is of medium size and 
of unusual charm. Its color will 
blend to good advantage with most 
other flowers . 7.50 
Silver Queen—A dwarf plant for the 
front of the border, 18 inches high. 
Silver white in color and a good 
grower . 5 .00 
LIST NO. 1—Continued 
Trilby — The last of the poppies to 
bloom. Deep rich red, the petals 
are plaited. True stock is scarce 
and errors are often found in the 
stock frequently offered . 1.50 
Wunderkind—Vigorous grower of rose 
cast. New. Stock limited. 2.00 
Wurtembergia—With the exception of 
Cavalier, this is probably the larg¬ 
est of all poppies; flowers are often 
11 inches across. The color is cerise 
scarlet with a black blotch. Has al¬ 
ways been an outstanding poppy .. 1.00
