_ PAPAVER (Pa-pay’-ver) ORIENTALE— 
5 Oriental Poppy 
Few people realize what great strides have been made 
in the hybridization of Oriental Poppies in the last few 
years. We may now have flowers of such gigantic size 
and color variation as to astound all who have not kept 
pace with the recent achievements. The colors range 
from purest white through all the tints from delicate 
pink to rose and crushed strawberry, red to mahogany, 
orange to terra cotta. The main blooming season is in 
early summer but many sorts bloom intermittently all 
summer and fall. One of the most permanent of 
perennials and certainly of the easiest culture asking 
only a place in full sun with reasonable drainage. Ship- 
ment will be made only during late summer and fall as 
they transplant best then but may be included with 
spring orders and shipment will be made at planting 
time.

DOUBLE PYRETHRUM 
PYRETHRUM (Py-ree’-thrum) —Painted Daisy 
Pyrethrums have been called the spring blooming Chrys- 
anthemum and’we think that the newer sorts are a very 
close rival of that popular flower. As a cut flower for 
Memorial Day they certainly have no superior. If not 
_allowed to seed there will be scattered blooms all sum- 
mer, although these as well as the first flowers after 
transplanting, are apt to be single. All are propagated 
vegetatively and are guaranteed true to name. 
We have in our eollection more than fifty separate varie- 
ties of named Pyrethrum, but for several years have been 
unable to propagate them fast enough to keep up with 
the demand. Therefore, we have only the following smal! 
group to offer this season: 
Brilliant—A very brilliant red, fully double. 
Buckeye—Deep rose, very double. 
Excelsior—Tall grower, large deep rose. 
Florence Shadley—Very fine double rich pink. 
Glory of the Midnight Sun—Very double deep Bengal rose 
with lighter center. 
Martinique—Very tall light lavender pink. 
Marvel—Delicate hydrangea pink. A double quilled sort. 
Miami Queen—Light delicate pink of large size. 
Mignon—Small very double rose-pink pompon. Exquisite. 
Queen Mary—Very large semi-double silvery pink. 
Saturn—Very large rose red, comet flowered. 
The Pearl—Purest white pompon. 
Extract from December 1937 Flower Grower: “... and 
do not overlook The Pearl, a lovely pure white pompon. 
It will do things to your cut flower arrangements.”’—C. 
W. Wood (Mich.)
