ORIENTAL POPPIES 
F EW 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 because of its hardiness, 
its freedom from disease, and its ease of culture. The gigantic flowers reach a 
diameter of six inches and more and vary in color from salmon to pink, red to 
orange, and mulberry to white. 
The Oriental Poppy has a blooming season of from six to seven weeks, pro¬ 
ducing 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 or 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.
