The varieties we are listing are the most popular in our wholesale trade. 
We are growing these in large quantities and are in a position to offer our 
production to you at reasonable prices. Our Poppies were transplanted 
from 2 and 3 inch pots last spring and they have developed into strong 
field grown roots. Experience assures us that they will transplant with 
satisfaction. For the best results next season, make an early fall planting, 
and be sure of receiving your choice of varieties.
