Our Guarantee 
All orders are filled with large two year old plants, 
freshly dug, that have already bloomed in our garden. 
They have been checked and are true to name. We can- 
not guarantee plants to grow, as we have no control 
over planting weather, and soil conditions. A complete 
planting and cultural direction is placed in every ship- 
ment. If plants are not satisfactory when received, re- 
turn them at once and your money will be refunded. 
Terms 
Cash with order. All orders for three dollars or more 
are shipped prepaid. Smaller orders please add twenty- 
five cents to cover packing and shipping costs. Poppies 
are shipped from August 1 through September and 
October. Retail only. Ohio customers please add three 
per cent sales tax. 
In past years some of our stock of outstanding 
varieties were depleted long before the close of the 
season. We suggest an early order to avoid disappoint- 
ment. We never substitute unless requested to do so.

The Culture of Oriental 
Poppies 
The culture of Oriental Poppies is no more difficult 
than that of any other permanent perennial. In fact, 
once they are established in the garden they need very 
little else than clean cultivation. Being deeply rooted, 
they rarely suffer from lack of water except possibly the 
first year they are planted. They do require a well- 
drained soil of good garden loam, a little mulch of ex- 
celsior or straw under the leaves the first winter, water 
only in rare instances, little or no fertilizer, and plenty 
of room in which to grow in preferably a sunny situa- 
tion. Seed pods should be removed as soon as the petals 
have fallen, and the entire top cut back after it has 
turned brown.
