Oriental Poppy, Beauty of Livermore. 
Oriental Poppies 
^-'T remember well the first time I saw an Oriental Poppy, 
j I was a boy then, and it excited me wonderfully, and 
I thought it was the most remarkable flower in the 
world. And now, after fifty years have gone by and I have 
seen all the known flowers of the world, I am still of the 
opinion that it is wonderful; one of the most striking and 
effective perennials in cultivation.” Our founder, Mr. J. 
Wilkinson Elliott, wrote this fifteen years ago and it is 
still true. One who has not seen the blazing beauty of the 
Oriental Poppies has not yet seen a garden.
