In ancient times the Oriental Poppy was dedicated to the 
Goddess 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 procure 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. Once planted 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 Orien¬ 
tal Poppies. The secret of success is planting them at the 
proper time. Spring plantings are usually doomed to fail¬ 
ure but they may be safely planted after they become 
dormant from July until 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 price 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 Pop¬ 
pies" leaves nothing to be desired; most of the varieties 
listed are very rare. Planted either singly, or in small 
groups, or masses, they add a touch of barbaric splen¬ 
dour to any garden and never fail to arouse the admira¬ 
tion of all who see them.
