Seedlings resulting from seeds sown in August will be ready next spring. 
These will be available in assorted lots. 
PRICE LIST 
All seeds at $2.50 per packet. No trade discount or reductions of any sort 
given. If anyone offers seeds as Lyondel Hybrids at prices less than mine, he 
is either a fool or a fraud. The same applies to seedlings. 
All seedlings at $2.50 per dozen postpaid. 
PINK ORIENTAL POPPIES 
ALL SEEDS CROSS POLLINATED BY HAND; ALL SEEDLINGS 
FROM SUCH SEEDS 
The breath-taking beauty of the newer oriental poppies opens new and 
undreamed of vistas of dazzling splendor. Bold plantings of masses of such 
poppies will bring to your garden an irresistible appeal and infinite waves of 
luminosity that will drown all earthly cares and sorrows. Whites, smokies, 
pearl pinks, all tints of lavenders and old rose, infinite tones of glowing 
salmons, apple blossom pinks in their silvery radiance, cerise, watermelon 
pinks, crushed raspberry, and all the intergradations of these offer to you a 
color symphony unsurpassed and unforgettable. Huge flowers on strudy stems, 
dainty flowers above graceful foliage, fringed poppies, fluted poppies, poppies 
with bold basal spots, and poppies with no spots at all; soft pinks, warm pinks, 
and pinks that glow and sparkle; flowers that will measure nine and ten inches 
across and supported by forty inch stems, and poppies that will fit into your 
rock garden to spray it with a new sort of luminosity; such, my friends, is the 
vision I bring to you. 
I know of nobody else either in this 'country or abroad who offers poppy 
seeds cross pollinated by hand. Yet there is a demand for such seeds and I 
was unable to meet it last year. I use nothing but superb parents in my breed¬ 
ing work; the cream of the modern varieties and the best of my own 
originations are combined in a happy union to yield a fairly good percentage 
of superior poppies, although the orange, scarlet and the ordinary red shades 
will also crop out and should be eliminated as fast as they appear. 
Seeds will be ready in August and may either be sown then and wintered 
over in glass covered cold frames, or kept until spring. 
Seedlings are available for spring delivery only. No shipment will be 
made after the first week in April. Prepare your bed in the fall and plant the 
seedlings in April. 
Seeds two dollars a packet; seedlings two dollars per dozen postpaid. 
AND NOW I BRING YOU SOLID RED HEMEROCALLIS 
ALL SEEDS CROSS POLLINATED BY HAND; ALL SEEDLINGS 
FROM SUCH SEEDS 
And when I say red, my friends, I mean RED; not the tiny flowered and 
muddy colored “reds” that have been sold at outrageously high prices, but 
clear, brilliant reds with flowers six inches or better across. Their beauty 
will hold you spellbound; planted with pale yellow hemerocallis, they will bring 
you a combination not easily surpassed. After convincing myself that the 
parents which I use in my crosses will give a reasonable number of reds, 
maroons and scarlets in addition to generous splashes of red on yellow and 
oranges, I am placing on the market for the first time a very limited quantity 
of seeds and seedlings which will be ready in September. The seeds may be 
planted either in glass covered cold frames as soon as received, or saved until 
the following spring. The seeds have great vitality and will germinate without 
fail; the seedlings are fool-proof and will establish themselves with ease., 
Hemerocallis usually blooms two years from seed. 
Seeds $2.50 per packet of 25 seeds; seedlings $2.50 per dozen postpaid.
