[37] Papaver Orientals, Mrs. Ballego 
PAPAVER ORIENTALE - Oriental Poppy 
Oriental Poppies are the regal representatives of this popular genus, 
growing 3 to 3’/2 feet high, and far surpassing in splendor of bloom all 
the annual kinds. For a gorgeous display of rich and brilliant coloring 
nothing equals them during their period of flowering in May and June, 
and whether planted singly or in masses their large flowers and free¬ 
dom of bloom render them conspicuous in any position. 
Culture. Almost any kind of soil suits them, but they do best in deep, 
rich loam. Set the plants out in the fall or early spring before the 
first of May, 12 inches apart. Give them water occasionally during dry 
spells in the early part of the season. Mulch with dry litter to prevent 
crown rot in the fall; and they will increase in size and floriferousness 
for several years. The proper planting season for field-grown roots of 
Poppies is during the last of August, September and October. In spring, 
strong plants are supplied in pots to insure success. 
■Orientale Three $0.95, Doz. $3.00, 100 $18.00 
(Oriental Poppy.) Tremendous cup-shaped blooms of brightest crimson- 
scarlet, with large, purplish black blotches at base of petals, creating 
a wonderful contrast when bloom is fully open. Clumps of these through¬ 
out the border add a brilliancy that no other flower can provide. 
Beauty of Livermore Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $25.00 
The finest dark crimson with black blotch; fine flowers freely produced. 
Fairy Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $25.00 
This variety originated at Wayside Gardens. The usual salmon and apri¬ 
cot tints in this variety are missing. It is, therefore, unique and in a 
class by itself. It is very hardy, of easy culture, very prolific of bloom, 
and flowers are good size on stiff stems. The color is shrimp-pink with 
pearly lustre, paling at edges. The center is richly colored with four 
narrow black bands instead of spots. Should be in every collection. 
■Cavalier Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00, 100 $40.00 
One of Dr. Neeley's latest and best. Strong grower and free bloomer. 
Flowers are crinkly and deep scarlet-red. 
■Gold of Ophir Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00, 100 $40.00 
A Poppy of medium height, about 24 to 28 inches, coming to perfection 
when 2 years old or more. The flowers are golden orange which develop 
into the nearest yellow of any Oriental Poppy. This tone of golden 
orange becomes more pronounced as the plant grows older. Unique. 
Jeanne Mawson Three $1.50, Doz. $4.50, 100 $30.00 
Tall erect growing variety. Flowers are large and sparkling geranium- 
pink. Unquestionably a beauty. 
Lula A. Neeley Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $25.00

holding until the last. This variety is becoming most popular. 
May Sadler Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $25.00 
Salmon-pink with black markings. We believe it one of the finest of 
the pink sorts because of its large flowers and robust growth.
