THE WORLD'S FINEST ORIENTAL POPPIES 
In ancient times the Oriental Poppy was dedicated to the God¬ 
dess Ceres, who, holding a lighted torch in one hand, and a 
Poppy blossom in the other, was said to keep watch over and 
carefully guard their fields and crops. Nothing is more showy or 
more durable in the garden than the modern hybrid Oriental 
Poppies, but to be sure of getting the finest stock one must pro¬ 
cure plants that are grown from root divisions of the original 
hybrid, and not seed grown plants. All plants offered by me are 
strong field grown plants from authentic root divisions of the 
original hybrid, and they will grow more beautiful and more 
gorgeous with each succeeding year. 
While many seed grown Poppies are sold, it is a fact that many 
of the finest hybrids never produce seeds and those that do never 
come true from seeds. Therefore, I do not sell any seed grown 
plants. 
Nothing is easier to grow than these gorgeous Oriental Poppies. 
The secret of success is planting them at the proper time. Spring 
or early Summer plantings are doomed to failure, but they may 
be safely planted after they become dormant in late Summer and 
early Fall. It is best to place your order now, while you have it in 
mind, and I will send them just at the right time for best results. 
(Those who visit my gardens may procure pot grown plants at any 
time at double the cost of dormant roots, but I never attempt to 
ship these pot grown plants.) Orders should be placed at once 
to assure success. 
This collection of "The World's Finest Oriental Poppies" leaves 
nothing to be desired. Planted either singly, or in small groups, 
or masses, they add a touch of barbaric splendour to any garden 
and never fail to arouse the admiration of all who see them.
