N othing in the garden is more conspic¬ 
uous and beautiful than the modern 
hybrid Oriental Poppies, in their bewilder¬ 
ing variety of bold, brilliant colors and de¬ 
lightful soft tones and shades. 
The original Oriental Poppies of the an¬ 
cients, probably introduced into Mediter- 
raneon lands from Persia, were dedicated 
to the Greek goddess Demeter, who was 
Ceres to the Romans, and she was believed 
to keep watch upon the fields and crops, 
with o lighted torch in one hand and a 
radiant Poppy blossom in the other. Cer¬ 
tainly it would take living fire to outshine 
the gleaming glory of the scarlet Oriental 
Poppies. Now, through modern horticultural magic, the great scarlet Oriental 
Poppy has been turned into all the glories of the Sunrise and the Sunset, with 
the boldest as well as the most delicate shades and tints thereof. 
To make sure of getting the finest stock one must obtain plants that are 
Ohisufihd fioppisidu 
known to be grown from root divisions of each original hybrid. Seed-grown 
plants cannot be relied upon for satisfactory results. Seed-grown Poppies are 
sold, but it is a fact that many of the finest hybrids never produce seed; and 
those that do cannot be depended upon for true reproduction by seed. Seed-grown 
Oriental Poppies are always inferior plants and untrue to name. Hence, I OFFER 
ONLY STRONG FIELD-GROWN PLANTS FROM AUTHENTIC ROOT DIVISIONS 
OF THE ORIGINAL HYBRID PARENT STOCK, and they will grow and yield 
more bountifully each succeeding year. 
Nothing is easier to grow than these gorgeous Oriental Poppies. The secret 
of success lies in planting them at the proper time. 
Spring plantings usually are foredoomed to failure, but the plants may 
be set out safely after they become dormant, from July to early fall. It is 
best to ploce your order early, and I will send the plants at exactly the right 
time for successful planting. 
My collection of the World's Finest Oriental Poppies is complete to the 
minute, and it leaves nothing to be desired. Most of the varieties listed are 
extremely rare. Singly, or in small groups, they add veritable Oriental splendor 
to any garden, and these newer marvels never fail to stir the beholder to aston¬ 
ishment and admiration.
