ARVISTA GARDENS 15 

ORIENTAL POPPIES 
The great Oriental Poppies furnish easily the 
most striking note in the June garden. We have 
been credited with the largest list of named Orien- 
tals in the world. They need only good garden soil. 
Plant so that the crowns are two to three inches be- 
low the surface, and cover with light straw mulch 
after the ground freezes up in the late fall. Send 
10 cents for our leaflet, ‘Oriental Poppies and How 
to Grow Them.” 
Because of recent labor conditions, we have not 
been able to keep our propagating up to demands, 
so this season, with one exception, we are offering 
only assorted collections as follows: 
Six fine varieties, named and labeled, 2 year 
plants, our selection only $3.00. 
SNOWFLAME—Plant Patent No. 365. “A sensa- 
tional break in Poppies. Lower half of flower 
pure white, upper half flame-orange.’’ Unusual 
and brilliant. Strong, free bloomer, large flowers 
on stiff stems. A real sensation. First season bloom 
sometimes all scarlet. 
1-year roots each .75; 3 for $2.00. A few 2-year 
roots at $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00. 
TREE PEONIES (Paeonia Arborea) 
These are the aristocrats of all Peonies. With 
woody stems, the plants attain a height of over five 
feet and a similar spread, and show colors unknown 
in the Chinese classes. They bloom generally earlier 
than the latter, and are very free-flowering. This 
collection represents perhaps the finest assortment 
available today. However, due to present labor con- 
ditions, propogation has been curtailed. For this 
reason, we this season do not offer them by name, 
though practically all plants shipped will be named 
and labeled. You may specify the colors you wish, 
excepting the yellows, which will not be sold this 
year. Colors include shades of pink, lilac, rose, 
salmon, violet, purple, carmine and blends. 
Four, Five and Six year old stock that should 
give excellent results the first season after planting 
are offered as follows: 
4 year 5 year 6 year 
Mach. es keane $9.00 $10.00 $12.00 
Two and three year old plants in 5” pots will 
again be available this season in the pinks and reds, 
named and labeled, at prices ranging mostly from 
$3.00 to $9.00, with perhaps a few in yellow, 
orange and white at from $9.00 to $25.00 each. 
When established, these choicest of garden aris- 
tocrats are good for a lifetime of superlative en- 
joyment. Here are the names of only a few of the 
varieties from which orders will be filled: 
Archidue Ludovico, Athlete, Colonel Malcolm, 
Comptesse de Tuder, Flambeau, Jules Pirlot, Mme. 
De Vatry, Souvenir de Ducher and Surprise.
