MAYFLOWER (Nesmith 1938) An enchanting poppy with extreme 
loveliness of form and color. The huge flowers open slowly and 
seem like crinkled rose buds. The deeply crinkled petals are pure 
pink with no trace of salmon; deeper in color than New Perfection, 
these large six petaled flowers are borne on strong sturdy stems. 
The name seems to aptly describe this flower of arbutus pink. $6.00
