SPECIAL NOTICE 
For best results Oriental Poppies 
should be transplanted during their 
dormant season, in the late summer or early fall. We, being interested 
in the success of our customers, will fill all orders for Oriental Poppy 
plants at that time unless otherwise instructed. We can make spring ship¬ 
ment to customers who want them at that time, but we can not be held 
responsible for the success of Oriental Poppies planted in the spring.

postpaid. 
CHINESE LANTERN 
New Giant 
Mammoth Lanterns on 4 Ft. Stems 
For years the Chinese Lantern or Winter 
Cherry has been highly prized for winter dec¬ 
oration. New Giant is a much improved form 
with the balloon-like pods or lanterns measur¬ 
ing 6 to 9 inches in circumference. The 
strong, stiff stems grow upright to a height 
of 4 feet, while the common variety is usually 
too weak to hold the lanterns off the ground. 
The brilliant orange pods retain their shape 
,and color all winter. Easily grown in almost 
any soil. A money maker for the florist and 
the roadside stand. Seed, 15c per packet. 
Strong roots, 35c each; 3 for 75c; 12 for
