ARVISTA GARDENS 23 
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 straw mulch after 
the ground freezes up in the 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 we: are not listing them this season. If you 
_wish to submit a want list of varieties, we will sub- 
mit prices on those that we can supply. 
TREE PEONIES :(Paeonia Arborea) 
These are the artistocrats 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 taday. However, due to recent labor con- 
ditions, propagation has been curtailed. 
This season we offer a limited list by name in 
plants from 5” pots only. We ‘hope to be able to 
offer field plants also in another year or so. 
saa Peonies will be shipped express collect 
only.
