ORIENTAL POPPIES 
For splendor they occupy a place of their own. We have 
eliminated from our plantings all the old small-flowered and 
common orange kinds. 
Plant in neutral soil of good quality, deeply dug, where they 
are to remain. Their roots are long and brittle. 
For best results the Orientals should be moved in late August, 
as they make a fall growth and should not be disturbed after¬ 
wards. 
Australia: Immense size, rich, deep carmine bowls standing 
three feet in height. This remarkable Hoodacres variety is one 
of the two Oriental Poppies which received the highest rating 
in 1933 by the judges who passed upon the entire field of avail¬ 
able kinds. $1.25 each, 3 for $3.00. 
Gray's Orange: An upstanding large orange-scarlet, very 
little black at throat; attractive. Australian production. $1.25. 
Lady Moore: Glowing salmon-pink. Keeps its color and 
blooms along with Delphiniums; remarkable color combination, 
24 in. $1.00, 3 for $2.25. 
Lord Lambourne: Deeply fringed petals, heavily blotched 
black at throat. 50c. 
Mandarin: Remarkable Chinese red, very tall and strong 
grower; rare. $1.00. 
Mrs. Stobart: A new and rare English introduction, soft old 
rose; very unusual. $1.50. 
The Chosen: Delicate shrimp pink; tall and large. $1.50. 
Trilby: Another outstanding Oriental. Large shapely blos¬ 
soms of lustrous red, petals crinkled. An important feature is its 
late-blooming quality which happily extends the season. $1.50 
each. 
Long lists of fapanese Iris do not by any means imply marked 
distinctions in color and form, while much depends upon the 
inherent vigor of the plant itself. We are continually eliminat¬ 
ing varieties which are defective in this respect. And we do 
not hesitate to discard any kind which has been superseded 
by a better. In blossom size we have practically doubled that 
of yesterday, and new colorings also are appearing. The red¬ 
dish, or russet, tones are now coming in, and pinkish mauves, 
also.
