Prpaver 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. 
Orientale Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00, 100 $20.00 
(Oriental Poppy.) Tremendous cup-shaped blooms of brightest crimson- 
scarlet, with large, purplish black blotches at base of petals, creating 
a wonderful contrast when bloom is fully open. Clumps of these through- 
out the border add a brilliancy that no other flower can provide. 
Australia Each $1.00, Three $2.85, Doz. $10.00 
Large massive and substantial flowers of oxblood or spectrum-red on 
rigid tall 42-inch stems. This fine red variety is an Australian intro- 
duction. 
Barr’s White Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
Large pure white flowers with purplish black spots. This is a free 
blooming and healthy grower. 
Beauty of Livermere Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
The finest dark crimson with black blotch; fine flowers freely produced. 
Cavalier Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
One of Dr. Neeley’s latest and best. Strong grower and free bloomer. 
Flowers are crinkly and deep scarlet-red. 
Crimson Pompon (Double) (1945 Introduction) 
Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
Blood-red, pompon-like flowers, fully double. The first double Poppy 
in a really red shade. It is of medium height, multiplies readily and 
flowers very freely. This is a Dutch introduction of which we were 
fortunate in obtaining a few plants just before the war and now have 
sufficient stock available for introduction. You'll want to add this 
to your collection. The first Poppy to bloom in spring. 

Enchantress Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
A lovely soft rose, an enchanting delicate shade. Here again one 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. 
Gold of Ophir Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
A Poppy of medium height, about 24 to 28 inches, coming to perfection 
when two years old or more. The flowers are golden orange. This tone 
of golden orange becomes more pronounced as the plant grows older. 
Unique. 





Salmon Glow 
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 Horiferousness for several years. 
The proper planting season for field-grown roots of Poppies is during the last 
of August, September and October. In spring, strong plants are supplied in 
pots to insure success. 
Helen Elizabeth Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
Considered by many as the best pink. It is a rugged grower. The straight 
34-inch stems are topped by La-France-pink flowers without dark spots. 
We also think it one of the best. 
Henri Cayeux Improved Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
Much larger flowers than Henri Cayeux but otherwise similar. The big 
blooms are a peculiar tint of ashes of Roses or an old rose shaded bur- 
gundy. If grown in light shade this flower really comes to perfection. 
Jeanne Mawson Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
Tall, erect growing variety. Flowers are large and sparkling Geranium- 
pink. Unquestionably a beauty. 
Joyce Each 55c, Three $1.45, Doz. $4.75 
Charming soft red flowers in great abundance on 48-inch stems of ex- 
ceptionally sturdy growth. 
Lulu A. Neeley Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
Good strong stems support flowers of brilliant oxblood-red, the color 
holding until the last. This variety is becoming most popular. 
Indian Chief (1945 Introduction) 
Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
Larger than the old favorite and a much better grower and more 
free blooming variety. This beautiful mahogany color is badly needed 
and for that reason the old Mahony was always in demand. We 
have now discontinued this and are introducing Indian Chief in its 
place. It grows well, blooms freely, and its flowers are distinct and 
handsome. 

May Sadler Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
Salmon-pink with black markings. We believe it one -of the finest of 
the pink sorts because of its large flowers and robust growth. 
Mrs. Perry Each 55c, Three $1.45, Doz. $4.75 
Orange-apricot; a very fine variety. 
Orange Perfection Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
A fine variety from Europe. A strong grower with orange-tinted flame- 
red flowers; very free flowering. 
Perry’s White Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
The flowers are a fine satiny white with a crimson-maroon blotch at the 
base of each petal. 
Pink Radiance Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
A delightfully fine radiant pink flower on stiff stem. It is a free 
bloomer and of easy culture. Height 30 inches. 
Purity Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
Considered by many to be the finest of all pink Poppies. 
Color pure soft pink without any spots or markings. Very 
free flowering. 
Salmon Glow (Double) 
Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
A fine double salmon-orange not to be confused with 
Olympia. The flowers are exceptionally large, fully 8 
inches across. It is a Dutch origination and selected for 
the Wisley trials. It received a first-class certificate in 
Holland and is spoken of as a beautiful double salmon- 
orange. Strong, upright growing Poppy. It was much 
admired in our nursery. 

Sass Pink Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
No doubt one of the finest and largest pink Poppies. The 
immense blooms are of fine crepy texture and of a lovely 
light delicate flesh-pink shade with gray-mauve center. 
Toreador Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
Beautiful crinkly carmine-red flowers 9 inches across, 
handsome marking at the base. Good grower, one of the 
best of the dark red Poppies. Grows about 30 inches tall. 

Watermelon (1945 Introduction) 
Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
This new Poppy is liked by everyone who sees it. The 
flowers are 6 to 7 inches across and about three shades 
deeper in color than Wunderkind, grow on 30-inch 
stems and flowers are produced in liberal quantities. 
Here is a charming Poppy and again a really worth- 
while color addition. 

Wunderkind Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
Considered the finest cerise-colored Poppy, true Begonia-rose. Strong 
grower with very large flowers on 33- to 35-inch stems. The plant 
looks sturdy and is a good grower. Flowers keep well when cut. 
Wurtembergia Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
A striking flower of great size and substance. Brilliant glowing rose-red.
