ORIENTAL POPPIES 
Our original breeding stock was a watermelon-pink 
of cupped type that bloomed pink in Spring and white 
in the Autumn - crossed with an orange - scarlet with 
silky sheen in the cup-in-saucer type, a seedling grown 
from seed from A. E. Kunderd. From this cross we have 
hundreds of seedlings to choose from, most of them in 
the heavy petaled cup-in-saucer type. The petals are 
like cardboard and stand any weather conditions, 
There are purest whites, flesh, lilac, lavender pink, 
pure pink, rose, mulberry, mulberry red, gypsy - purple 
and near lavender-gray; many with the centers sirik- 
ingly marked rivaling the sunset in their beauty - Big 
spots, Little spots, black and purple on red, purple or 
maroon base which is solid colored or rayed. Petite 
whites with rosy rays, giant whites with deep-purple 
spots on a rose-rayed base lighting up the entire bloom. 
There are cold whites, tinted whites, whites with ivory 
edge and Translucent lovelies that are living elves of 
Spring. 
This past season a break cccurred. A giant rose-red 
in C-I-S type with silky finish on ramrod stems. Black 
base with great feathered arrows of black %4” wide 
reaching for the petals’ edge. A showy sunset red 
filling in the lower half between the arrows. 
From the above seedlings we offer the Hrest Lilac- 
pink or Lavender-pink which we have had under obser- 
vation for 3 years and naming it for one who has 
passed on to more glorious gardens, my mother— 
Mrs. Mary Coughlin — A Masterpiece! 
May 28 to June 14, 1946, 
16 buds to a two year clump. Large; 6” to 8” very 
heavily creped blooms of heavy substance held upright 
on 38” to 40” ram-rod stems—branching on established 
clumps. 
Depending on the weather, color opens a true Lilac- 
pink with red basal rays or a Lavender-pink with a 
Lavendar cast in bright sunlight and a white center 
with Lilac-purple rays. Reaches its greatest depth of 
color in partial shade but we grow it in sun and shade. 
Lasts long as a cut flower if kept cool. Try this for a 
choice spot in your garden.

or early September and sold under a money back
