better suited for bedding purposes than the 
Viola then we are not familiar with them. 
They are very free flowering, easy to man' 
age, and bloom for a period of six months 
if given a good rich soil and water during dry 
weather.

Oriental Poppies 
Without question the most dazzling and 
showy of all hardy perennials in point of 
color and size. The Oriental Poppies bring 
the gorgeous and brilliant colors of the Far 
East silks to our gardens. The reason so 
many people fail to succeed with the Ori' 
ental Poppy is beause they do not under' 
stand the simple requirements of the plant, 
which is almost the reverse of most plants. 
The roots should only be transplanted during 
the dormant season which is during July, 
August and September. The plant makes a 
leafy growth during the cool fall months 
which is very necessary. This growth is ever' 
green and in spring the flowering stems ap' 
pear and after blooming the top apparently 
dies which is the natural rest period of the 
plant. The dormant season is the only peri' 
od at which field grown plants can be 
moved. They do well in any ordinary soil 
and increase in size and number of blooms 
from year to year. Cover lightly with ^ever' 
green boughs or light hay for first winter 
after planting.

On my des\ at the present time I have 
from fifteen to twenty catalogues from most 
of the leading nurserymen and seedmen of 
the country and yours and one other are the 
only ones that are honest enough to tell that 
Oriental Poppies can only be transplanted 
during their dormant period. The rest will 
ta\e your money and it’s just too bad if they 
don’t grow. That is the reason I sent you 
my order and if the plants are as good as I 
hope they will be, you can be sure of further 
orders in the future.
