Poppy, Olds’ All Double Shirley 

1123. OLDS’ ALL DOUBLE MIXED SHIRLEY. H. A. The bushy plants grow about 
28 inches in height and flower early in the summer with the richest display of color 
imaginable. Scarlet, carmine, crimson, dark and light pink, salmon shades, white, 
pink and white edged, scarlet on white ground, and pink on white grounds, as well 
as a bright cerise color. There are over 100 various color combinations in our 
growing this season. The airy-silky sheen of Shirley Poppies is particular to all 
shades. Formerly the best results obtained with the beautiful, Ranunculi flowered 
Poppies were 70 to 80 per cent double. This strain that we offer comes practically 
100 per cent double from seed. Neither the illustration nor the description given 
here can begin to do justice to these beautiful flowers. We urge our customers to 
be sure to order a packet of this seed. Blooms are in general a good one-third 
larger than the old-fashioned strains of Shirley Poppies and are excellent for cut 
flowers if cut in the bud. This item brings us many unsolicited testimonials each
