In ancient times the Oriental Poppy was dedicated to 
the Goddess Ceres, who, holding a lighted torch in one 
hand and a Poppy blossom in the other, was said to keep 
watch over and carefully guard their fields and crops. 
Nothing is more showy or more durable in the garden 
than these new modern hybrid Oriental Poppies, but to 
be sure of getting the finest stock one must procure plants 
that are grown from root divisions of the original hybrid, 
and not seed grown plants. All plants offered by me are 
strong field grown plants from authentic root divisions 
of the original hybrid. Once planted they will grow more 
beautiful with each succeeding year. 
While many seed grown poppies are sold, it is a fact 
that many of the finest hybrids never produce seeds and 
those that do never come true from seeds. Seed grown 
poppies are always inferior and untrue to name; therefore, 
I do not sell any seed grown plants. 
Nothing is easier to grow than these gorgeous Oriental 
Poppies. The secret of success is planting them at the 
proper time. Spring plantings are usually doomed to 
failure but they may be safely planted after they become 
dormant from July until early Fall. It is best to place your 
order at once, while you have it in mind, and I will send 
them at just the right time for best results. 
This collection of the "World's Finest Oriental Poppies" 
leaves nothing to be desired. Most of the varieties listed 
are very rare. Planted either singly or in small groups or 
masses, they add a touch of barbaric splendour to any 
garden and never fail to arouse the admiration of all 
who see them.
