“GLOWING EMBERS. Deeple crinkled, 
cup-shaped blooms. Medium red 
“GOLD OF OPHIR. 2), in. New Neeley 
introduction. Golden orange 
which develops into the nearest 
yellow of any Oriental Poppy as 
the plant grows older. May be 
disappointing the first year, 
but will repay you for waiting 
“HELEN ELIZABETH. 2l; in. 
(Siebenthaler 1945) This is a 
real acquisition of light La- 
France-pink. The petals are 
deeply crinkled and show no 
evidence of spots or blotches. 
Just the right shade to plant 
with light blue delphiniums. 
Longest blooming period of any 
known Poppy.

“HENRI CAYEUX. 30 in. Veronia purple, 
might be called old rose shading 
into burgundy. An early bloomer 
and good grower with distinctive 
gray-green foliage. Flowers most 
attractive where protected from 
mid-day sun. 
*HERCULE. 2 in. Inmense flower, 
often 9 inches across, of true 
scarlet, borne on extra tall and 
sturdy stem. A leader in its 
color class. 
*JOHN III. 21 in. (Siebenthaler 1935) 
This is a choice Poppy with dainty 
flowers of coral-pink. A vivid 
color with no base spots. Besides, 
the petals remain crinkled until 
they drop. A new, lasting quality 
seems to be developed here, hold- 
ing up in water appreciably longer 
than the older varieties 
“JOYCE. 4.8 in. Spectrum-red or may 
be described as cherry-red in 
color. Flowers are of medium size, 
borne on tall, perfectly straight 
stems. We consider it one of the 
very best garden varieties, of 
the older sorts 
“JULIA BUCK. 3 in. Deep coral-pink, 
somewhat deeper in color and 
larger than iirs. Perry. Stems are 
rigid and foliage is well pro- 
portioned
