Papaver Orientale - Oriental Poppy 
Oriental Poppies are the regal representatives of this popular genus, 
growing 3 to 3% 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 freedom 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, 
twelve inches apart. Give them water occasionally during dry spells in the 
early part of the season. Mulch with dry litter to prevent crown rot im the 
fall; and they will increase in size and floriferowsness for several years. The 
proper planting season for field-grown roots of Poppies 1s during the last of 
August, September and October. In spring, strong plants are supplied in pots 
to insure SUCCESS, 

Beauty of Livermore Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $25.00 
The finest dark crimson with black blotch; fine flowers freely produced.

Enchantress Three $1.50, Doz. $4.50, 100 $30.00

of the best and possibly “‘tops’’ in this color which comes to perfection 
if the plant is grown in light shade. Very good grower and free flowering. 
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.

when 2 years old or more. The flowers are golden orange. This tone of 
golden orange becomes more pronounced as the plant grows older.

blooms are a peculiar tint of ashes of roses or an old rose shaded bur-

SENSATIONAL NEW BICOLOR POPPY 
Snowflame Each $0.75, Three $2.00, Doz. $7.50 
(Plant patent applied for.) ‘“A sensational break in Poppies’ is what 
an expert said when he saw Snowflame in bloom the first time in our 
nursery. The lower half of the flower is pure white; the upper half a 
flame-orange, creating a most unusual and brilliant effect. The orange 
band of the upper half of the petals varies considerably in width with 
each flower, helping to increase the charm of this rare variety. Hap- 
pily, Snowflame is a very strong grower and blooms freely. It is not 
subject to any ailments or insect pests. In fact, it is one of the 
strongest growing varieties we have. The flowers are large and grow 
on stiff stems. A few clumps of Poppy Snowflame in your garden will 
create nothing short of a sensation. We send in the spring strong 
plants in 214-inch pots. From August until end of fall planting season, 
we send field-grown roots. The pot plants are vigorous and most of 
them will bloom the first year. 

Papaver, Snowflame
