POPPIES—IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT 
According to a recent ruling of the Federal Narcotics Department it is illegal 
to have in one’s possession plants from which opiates may be extracted. These 
plants include the various strains of Papaver somniferum; in other words, Poppy 
Carnation Flowered, Paeony Flowered, Cardinal and Tall Single Annual. 
After the Federal authorities had made several tests of the aforementioned 
Poppies growing in our fields it was ascertained that opiates were present in 
the sap of these different Poppies. At the suggestion, therefore, of the Federal 
and State authorities we have plowed under or cut and destroyed all plants of 
these several poppy types. We have also destroyed such seed as we had on hand 
and in the future will be unable to supply any seed whatever of the Carnation 
Flowered, Paeony Flowered, Cardinal type and Tall Single Annual Poppies. 
Since it is illegal to grow these plants, all seed dealers would do well to remove 
these varieties from their lists in future. 
It is with regret that we make this announcement since these poppies have 
long been among the popular garden varieties, but we feel sure all will agree 
that under the circumstances strict adherence to the provisions of this law is 
mandatory for the best interests of all.
