ORIENTAL POPPIES 
These poppies give us such great splashes of color in the June garden — that one can well believe the garden artist 
used a broad palette knife. Masses of gleaming pink or of deep glowing red, colors so arresting that one involun¬ 
tarily stops to fill the eye with their beauty. If Oriental Poppies mean to you, just the old brick red, try to picture 
these newer varieties, some deliciously delicate, some deeply dark, with all the varying shades of pink and red 
that come in between. Many of them delight in full sun; all are lovely in partial shade. Established plants will give 
great armfuls of bloom. 
When picking poppies for the house, the ends should be charred for about 2”, and then plunged into cold, deep 
water, and the flowers put in a cool place for an hour or two. This treatment will insure their keeping for some days. 
Orders for poppies are filled in August and September.
