ORIENTAL POPPIES 
(TRUE PERENNIALS) 
For brilliant colors, nothing equals the Oriental Poppy during 
their flowering period: May to July. Often they blossom again in 
the fall. 
Breeders have succeeded in creating colors never dreamed of, 
such as “Golden Orange’’ (GOLD OF OPHIR); “Coral Pink’’ (PINK 
RADIANCE); “Pure White” (PERRY’S WHITES); “Carmine Pink” 
(WUNDERKIND), and many other shades. 
They should be planted during July and August with the German 
Iris, when they are dormant, and if moved then they will thrive. If 
planted in the spring when growth is active, they will sulk for a long 
time. SO REMEMBER, PLANT THEM IN THE LATE SUMMER. 
They like full sun and good soil. 
All of our plants are propagated from root cuttings of the parent 
plant and are true to name: THEY ARE NOT SEEDLINGS. 
WHAT TO BUY? We have too many new named varieties— 
dozens of new seedlings are coming annually into commerce, and are 
listed by their only distinctive feature which is their name. 
We are listing below a few of the best, and most outstanding 
colors, and we assure our customers buying these modern hybrid pop¬ 
pies that they will not be disappointed.

pollen, consequently no seeds. $1.99 each
