BRAND PEONY FARMS, Inc. 
ORIENTAL 
POPPIES 
For real gorgeousness—some' 
thing remindful of the warm, 
extravagant colors of the East 
—nothing in all the world of 
flowers can compare with the 
Oriental Poppy. Coming with 
the early Peonies, they give the 
garden a touch no other flower 
can give. 
The Oriental Poppy blooms, 
ripens its seed pods, and then 
the top dies to the ground. The 
root remains perfectly dormant 
for several weeks and then 
starts a new growth. It is dur- 
ing this dormant period that it 
is most safely moved; generally 
during late August and Sep* 
tember. We fill our Oriental 
Poppy orders during that pe> 
riod. Please do not order Orb 
ental Poppies after September 
15th. 
We supply a large root. We do not handle the small Oriental Poppy roots sold at cheap prices. The 
illustration above gives one a fair idea of the general appearance of the Oriental Poppy. But it cannot 
impart to the eye the gorgeous colors of these magnificent flowers. It is the brilliant color and beautiful 
design of these glorious petals which form the real beauty of the Oriental Poppy.
