ORIENTAL POPPIES 
This regal perennial has been much hybridized in recent 
years. They complement the irises and hemerocallises 
since it has attained that true spectrum red which is so 
much sought after in the former species. Their bloom- 
ing season has been extended from early May to July, 
and some, notably Cherry Rose, are remontant in the fall 
of the year. I have surplus to sell only of those varieties 
which are starred (*). 
Probably the foremost breeder of oriental poppies is 
Mr. A. E. Curtis, 5930 Argus Rd., Cincinnati 24, Ohio. A 
committee of experts of the American Oriental Poppy 
Society will meet in his garden this year and we hope it

will result in a revised check list which will include the 
many new varieties bred and named since the first edition 
was printed in 1942. 
The first column refers to the Check List, L1 signifies 
List 1 or Approved, L2 signifies List 2 or Under Observa- 
tion, L3 signifies Disapproved. 
Poppies do best when transplanted after they have had 
their summer rest, and I do not dig them until new growth 
starts, beginning about Sept. 1st, but would appreciate 
placing your order in advance.

PEONIES 
As our old friend, the late poet and philosopher of 
Marilla, N. Y., Ernest L. Kelsey said, “God lights up the 
Garden when Peonies bloom.” For a glorious display in 
the month of June plant a few of these queenly flowers. 
They are unsurpassed for hardiness and once planted may 
be left alone for many years with a minimum of attention. 
My prices are not for standard divisions but are for a 
single bud on dormant roots. For example a 5 budded 
division on Addielanchea would cost $1.00. I do not advise 
less than a root with three buds, and five to ten will give 
you a size which will bloom the following year. This does 
not apply to tree peonies of which I have no surplus to 
sell this year. 
Ratings are those of the American Peony Society. For 
a true appreciation of these gorgeous flowers I recommend 
that you join this organization.
