NATIONAL POPPY COMMITTEE 
The National Poppy Committee (consisting of the following 
members: Mr. Roy V. Ashley, Mr. Floyd Bass, Mr. H. T. 
Beckmann, Mr. Roy Burke, Mr. A. E. Curtis, Mr. Earl 
Jordan, Mr. Karl Lorenz, Mr. Robert Schreiner and Mr. John 
Siebenthaler) are preparing a check list of Oriental Poppies. 
It is felt that many varieties now in commerce are no longer 
needed, and a description of these varieties is to be given, 
followed by the name of the variety which is considered 
similar and superior. The better varieties will be carefully 
described and a scientific color description given that can be 
easily rechecked. Other material from records which were 
started by the late Dr. Neeley in 1932 will be added. Copies 
of this report will be offered at a cost estimated at not more 
than $1.00. Subscribers to this check list will become 
associate members of the committee, and can obtain reports 
on new varieties as issued. If you are interested, please 
file your name with one of the above members and 
further information will be sent you when ready. Do not 
send any money at the present time. In order to avoid 
duplication, please do not file your name with more than 
one member of the committee.
