Iceland Poppy, "The Empress" 
Another Desirable New Variety for 
Cut Flowers 
The Empress 
BODGER (INTRODUCER’S) DESCRIPTION 
Our new Nudicaule l’oppy, The Empress, is truly queen of the Iceland 
Poppy family. Distinct from all other strains, it is remarkable first for 
flower form—large, full, well formed flowers, with broad overlapping 
petals deeply fluted or wrinkled, giving an effect almost of doubleness, 
an illusion which is most delightful. Secondly, the color range is unique 
lovely shades of salmon rose and creamy pinks never before seen in 
Nudicaule Poppies, fascinating tones to intrigue the imagination. The 
flowers are carried on good strong stems, which make them fine for 
cutting. Tr. pkt..60o 
Papaver Nudicaule—(Continued) 
The Emperor 
BODGER (INTRODUCER’S) DESCRIPTION 
The Emperor is without a doubt the best orange ieeland Poppy avail¬ 
able, the same type as The Empress, with extremely large fluted petaled 
flowers, many with an extra row of petals. The color is remarkably true, 
the same shade as our El Monte, deep tangerine orange, but the flowers 
are larger, and are borne on very long strong stems. We highly 
recommend The Emperor. Tr. pkt.50c
