ARVISTA HONOR ROLL of Oriental Poppies 
As yet there is no organization that has made a definite Honor Roll of Oriental 
Poppies. As a result of our study of Poppies covering a period of ten years, we feel 
that such a list is fully justified. The varieties indicated with a star ) in our list 
have proven themselves so outstanding as to merit a place in this list. As better 
ones prove themselves they will find their place in the Honor Roll. 
Poppies not priced are not offered for sale at present, either because of the 
small stock available, because they are still under test, or because we have no 
description as yet. We always have in our gardens many new seedlings and other 
varieties for test and comparison.
