ORIENTAL POPPIES 
ONE OF OUR SPECIALTIES 
No plant to our knowledge will stand 
more neglect, is freer from disease, will 
grow and bloom year after year, and will 
produce such a wonderful sight when in 
bloom as the Oriental Poppy. 
During the last few years great strides 
have been made in the development and 
improvement of this very hardy and de¬ 
pendable plant, until now it can be had 
in many different shades from pure white 
with maroon blotch at base of petals to 
dark red with black blotch. 
If planted in any sunny location these 
wonderful Poppies will thrive without any 
care whatever, and will furnish great 
quantities of beautiful blooms for years 
to come. We grow the following sorts: 
ORIENTAL POPPIES

black spot on base of petal.

CRAPE MYRTLE 
Is one of the most beautiful of all the 
flowering shrubs. Its leaves are glistening 
green and very waxy. Its blooms are sim¬ 
ilar to the large heads of the fall Hydran¬ 
gea except the petals which are very soft 
and fluffy and appear to be made of silk 
crape. 
Crape Myrtle in Kansas City begins to 
bloom in late july when flowers are 
scarcest, and continues to produce very 
large heads of lovely blooms during Au¬ 
gust and September. It sometimes freezes 
back in the winter but it has always come 
back better in the following spring. 
We grow these Crape Myrtles in our 
Cloverset Plant Containers and offer them 
in bloom in July and August as well as 
dormant in the spring. 
We offer fine heavy plants 18 to 24 
inches high that will bloom this coming 
summer in the following colors: white, 
purple, pink, red and lavender. Price, 
dormant up to April 15th, 50 cents each 
by mail, postpaid. Price in August, Sep¬ 
tember and October in bloom, each $1.00. 
OUR CRAPE MYRTLE SHOW 
We invite you and your friends to 
come to our Crape Myrtle Show about 
August 1st. Hundreds of these beautiful 
plants will be in full bloom. Announce¬ 
ment of the show will be found in the
