NEW 
Oriental Poppies 
0 flower can draw more instant attention and leave a more lasting 
and pleasing impression than a bed of carefully selected Oriental 
Poppies. Either singly, or in mass, they give a touch of barbaric splendor 
offered by no other flower. For five years we have been carefully selecting 
new and better varieties which show superior merit and advancement over 
old types. For the first time, we are in position to offer in quantity a 
selected list of new varieties, each one of which is distinctly superior. We 
furnish field grown clumps. 
NEW INTRODUCTIONS FOR 1938 
The late beloved Dr. J. H. Neeley of Paulding Ohio was, without 
question, the leading authority on Oriental Poppies in America. 
At his suggestion we started raising seedling poppies about fifteen years 
ago. From our forty thousand plants Dr. Neeley selected two varieties 
for distribution. ~\\e can assure our friends that these two poppies 
are superior in every way to anv existing varieties. 
NEELEY’S FAVORITE 
Dr. Neeley selected this poppy as his favorite among the deep red 
varieties. A massive flower of rich Afghan red. Flowers held erect by 
sturdy stems. Neeley’s Favorite is destined to become the leading 
deep red poppy. 
$1.00 each; $10.00 per 12; $75.00 per 100. 
BEACON 
Here is a poppy with enormous flowers of an unusually beautiful 
shade of rich raspberry red. Everyone admires Beacon for its abundance 
of flowers and its distinctiveness of color. You will eventually be 
growing this variety. 
$1.00 each; $10.00 per 12; $75.00 per 100. 
PINK SPLENDOR (NEW) —A new poppy introduced for the first time 
this year. We consider Pink Splendor the finest pink poppy produced 
to date. The individual flowers are of medium size and more abundantly 
produced than in any pink variety. In color, a beautiful shade of deep 
coral pink without spot or blemish of any kind. Stock is limited. $3.25 
per 12; $25.00 per 100. 
CAVALIER —A new seedling from the late poppy specialist. Dr. J. H. 
Neeley. Crinkly petals of deep cardinal red. One of the best. $3.25 per 
12; $25.00 per 100.

port flowers of brilliant cardinal red, the color holding until the last.

America within a few years. $1.75 per 12; $12.00 per 100. 
MRS. PERRY —Although this Poppy has been on the market for several 
years, it is not widely distributed. A bright clear coral pink color combined

PROSPERPINE —Of the reds, Prosperpine, with its striking buds, heavy 
stems and massive flowers, is undoubtedly the best. You cannot be without
