oriental 
Without question the most dazzling and 
showy of all hardy perennials in point of 
color and size. The Oriental Poppies bring 
the gorgeous and brilliant colors of the Far 
East silks to our gardens. The reason so 
many people fail to succeed with the Orb 
ental Poppy is because they do not under' 
stand the simple requirements of the plant, 
which is almost the reverse of most plants. 
The roots should only be transplanted dur' 
ing the dormant season which is during July, 
August, and September. The plant makes a 
leafy growth during the cool fall months 
which is very necessary. This growth is ever' 
green and in spring the flowering stems ap' 
pear and after blooming the top apparently 
dies which is the natural rest period of the 
plant. The dormant season is the only period 
at which field grown plants can be moved. 
They do well in any ordinary soil and in' 
crease in size and number of blooms from 
year to year. Cover lightly with evergreen 
boughs or light hay for first winter after 
planting.

It is a revelation to find anybody in the plant 
business as honest as you are. It certainly 
ma\es the customer feel good when he is 
doing business with you. I’m sure if I had 
ordered poppies from some one else they 
would have been shipped to me whether it 
was late or not. Tour frankness is refreshing.
