New Oriental Poppies 
No flower can draw more instant attention and 
leave a more lasting and pleasing impression than 
a bed of carefully selected Oriental Poppies. 
Either singly, or in mass, they give a touch of 
barbaric splendor offered by no other flower. For 
five years we have been carefully selecting new 
and better varieties which show superior merit 
and advancement over older types. For the first 
time, we are in position to offer in quantity a se¬ 
lected list of new varieties, each one of which is 
distinctly superior. 
JEANNE MAWSON —A very fine large peach 
pink that is very satisfactory. Very scarce. 
$2.00 per 12, $15.00 per 100. 
LORD LAMBOURNE —A strikingly beautiful 
new variety with lacinated flowers of bright 
scarlet. A very distinct variety. $1.50 per 12, 
$10.00 per 100. 
LULA A. NEELEY —This variety is our favor¬ 
ite. Good strong stems support flowers of bril¬ 
liant oxblood red, the color holding until the 
last. We predict that this variety will become 
the most popular Poppy in America within a 
few years. $1.50 per 12, $10.00 per 100. 
MRS. PERRY —Although this Poppy has been 
on the market for several years, it is not widely 
distributed. A bright clear pink color combined 
with vigorous growth makes Mrs. Perry one of 
the most beautiful varieties. $1.20 per 12, $8.00 
per 100. 
ORANGE QUEEN —We offer a selected type 
of this popular orange variety. Vigorous in 
growth and very early. 85c per 12, $6.00 per 100. 
PROSPERPINE —Of the scarlets, Prosperpine, 
with its striking buds, heavy stems and massive 
flowers, is undoubtedly the best. You cannot be 
without this brilliant variety. $1.20 per 12, $8.00 
per 100. 
TRILBY- —Enormous flowers of cerise scarlet. 
Very scarce and among the leaders. $1.50 per 
12, $10.00 per 100. 
WURTEMBERGIA -A striking flower of great 
size and substance. Brilliant scarlet in color. 
$1.50 per 12, $10.00 per 100.
