Oriental Poppies 
New and Unusual Varieties 
Due to the efforts of the recently* organized Poppy/ Societies, there has been a great deal of interest displayed in behalf of 
the Oriental Poppies. It is our understanding that these people are doing a great deal of work toward the betterment of 
Poppies and it must be admitted that they deserve a great deal of credit. 
As a result of this immense interest we now find in cultivation the most gorgeous Poppies that this land has ever known. 
To date there has been a little trading of the better varieties but mostly within the society members. We were very fortunate 
in being able to purchase from one of these specialists and with his help in making our selection, we believe we have here 
an excellent assortment. We are very pleased) to be able toi offer these new varieties to our wholesale customers. 
All plants will be shipped from 2 " pots. Therefore, they can be planted with success throughout the spring months. If 
you happen to be a fancier of Poppies, you should by all means make a purchase of at least a few of each variety.
