AUNT MARY’S SWEET CORN FARM 
ORIENTAL POPPIES 
I have grown many varieties of Oriental Poppies, and I am offer¬ 
ing this year the ones which have grown most satisfactorily for me. 
They should be planted immediately upon arrival, and watered every 
week or ten days this fall. 
POPPIES FOR OCTOBER SHIPMENT 
FLANDERS—A red poppy of splendid size, good substance, stiff 
stems, and excellent carriage. Is not as dark as lula a. neeley, 
yet its color and carriage are so outstanding that it can well be 
recommended. Only a few field grown plants are for sale 
this year .$1.00 
LORD LAMBOURNE—This is a later origination than the other 
red poppies in this list, and while not so good as any of them in 
color, it is distinguished by having irregular lacinations in its 
petals. Field grown plant.$1.00 
LULA A. NEELEY—When I saw the seedling of this variety in 
Dr. Neeley’s garden in Paulding, Ohio, ten or more years ago, I 
considered it the best red oriental poppy, and I believe it has 
continued to hold that position. Field grown plant.$1.00 
MRS. PERRY—For many years this has been the standard and best 
selling pink oriental poppy. During the past ten years many 
newer and daintier pink varieties have been introduced, but 
none of them in my garden have yet shown the vigor of this 
older favorite. Field grown plant.$1.00 
PROSERPINE—A very beautiful red poppy with splendid stiff 
stems and excellent carriage which blooms earlier than lula a. 
neeley. Field grown plant. $1.00 
TRILBY—This very large, red poppy with crinkled petals multiplies 
very slowly. If given the proper fertilizer it grows both extra 
large and extra tall. Should be well mulched. Not as hardy as 
lula a. neeley. Very scarce. Field grown plant.$5.00 
WURTEMBERGIA—This red poppy is larger than lula a. neeley, 
but it does not have as good a carriage. Its color and size are 
both excellent. Field grown plant.$1.00
