Prpaver Weenie Oriental Loppy 
Oriental Poppies are the royal representatives of this popular family. 
They have shown a remarkable increase in public favor in recent years 
because so many new and better colors have been added. Rich tints 
of rose, salmon-pink, white and lavender, as well as Indian-copper-red 
are now available besides the brilliant reds. Growing 3 to 3% feet in 
height, they contribute a rare splendor of bloom throughout the late 
spring. Plant them singly or en masse; they have a way of dominating, 
by their gorgeous display of rich and bright coloring and the splendor 
of blooms, that portion of your garden where they are placed. 
They flower in May and June, at which time their sheer burst of 
livid and brilliant colors render them without an equal. 
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, 12 inches apart. Give them water occasionally during 
dry spells in the early part of the season. Mulch with dry litter to 
prevent crown rot in the fall; and they will increase in size and 
floriferousness jor several years. The proper planting season for field- 
grown roots is during the last of August. September and October. In 
spring, strong plants are supplied in pots to insure success.

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. 
Curtis Giant Flame Each $1.00, Three $2.75, Doz. $8.50 
Established plants grow flowers 11 inches across, on 4-foot stems. The 
giant blazina red flowers are immense and almost barbaric in appear- 
ance. This is the biggest of the Giants and as a visitor expressed it 
well, looks like a good sized fire in the garden. 
Curtis Giant Flesh-Pink Each 85c, Three $2.25, Doz. $6.75 
A mammoth sized Poppy. The flower is flesh-pink, slightly tinted lav- 
ender; blooms are 914 inches across on stems 3 feet high. One of the 
fine attributes of the variety is that it also grows exceedingly well in 
shade. 
Curtis Giant Mulberry Each 85c, Three $2.25, Doz. $6.75 
Big, 8-inch flowers on 3-foot stems of a most distinct and different 
shade. Quite a good deai lighter than Mahony with rich shadings of 
mulberry. A splendid addition to the still limited range of colors in 
Poppies. Excellent grower. 
Curtis Salmon-Pink Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
A rugged grower; 3-foot stems and 8-inch blooms of the most pleasing 
salmon-pink, showing more pink than salmon. This, while not the big- 
gest of the Giants, is without doubt one of the best. 
Enchantress Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
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 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
A Poppy of médium 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. 
Helen Elizabeth Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
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 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
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 tn light shade this flower really comes to perfection. 
Indian Chief Each 90c, Three $2.60, Doz. $7.25 
Larger than the oid 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, biooms freely, and its flowers are distinct and handsome. 
Jeanne Mawson Each 75c, Three $2.00. Doz. $6.00

pink. Unquestionably a beauty.

ceptionally sturdy growth.

the pink sorts because of its large flowers and robust growth.

flowers are exceptionally large, fully 8 inches across. It is a Dutch

orange. Strong, upright growing Poppy.
