PAPAVER (Pa-pay'-vcr) ORIENTALE— 
Oriental Poppy 
Few people realize what great strides have been made 
in the hybridization of Oriental Poppies in the last few 
years. We may now have flowers of such gigantic size 
and color variation as to astound all who have not kept 
pace with the recent achievements. The colors range 
from purest white through all the tints from delicate 
pink to rose and crushed strawberry, red to mahogany, 
orange to terra cotta. The main blooming season is in 
early summer but many sorts bloom intermittently all 
summer and fall. One of the most permanent of 
perennials and certainly of the easiest culture asking 
only a place in full sun with reasonable drainage. Ship¬ 
ment will be made only during late summer and fall as 
they transplant best then but may be included with 
spring orders and shipment will be made at planting 
time.
