Buffalo, N.Y. 
Of all the poppy plants I have ever 
bought, those from you were the biggest and 
healthiest I have ever recewed. 
J. J. Repetski 
For sheer brilliance and Gargantuan floral proportions no other perennial can match the Oriental Poppies. The new 
shades of rose, salmon, lavender and mahogany in addition to the flaming reds and clear pinks have increased their popu- 
larity tremendously. They simply dominate any part of the garden selecied for them. Planted singly or in groups as) 
most effective. May and June are Poppy time when the giant flowers on towering stems will be a main attraction in your 
garden. Although regarded primarily as a garden flower, Oriental Poppies provide superb material for indoor decoration. 
For this purpose freshly opened flowers must be cut in the early morning. Immediately burn the ends of stems until charred, 
after which the blooms will remain in fresh condition for several days. 
We have tested over 100 named varieties including recent introductions and take real pride in now offering this paramount 
collection of only the most beautiful and outstanding varieties for your consideration. Our plants which require much time 
and care to propagate are not to be compared with vastly inferior divisions removed from old clumps. Every order will be 
filled with vigorous 1 or 2 year old plants started from cuttings. These are the very best poppies your money can buy. 
CULTURE: Poppies may be planted any time from August on throughout the fall months with good results. They do 
well in either full sun or part shade. Any average garden soil is satisfactory and the plants, once established, will increase 
in size and produce more flowers for many years. If planted in groups space them at least 2 feet apart. 
SHIPMENT: Fall beginning about August 15. 
BETTY ANN Each .85; 3 for 2.25 
In our opinion this is just about the loveliest pure pink poppy. 
Color is beautiful La France Pink without basal spots. Medium 
large flowers on strong stems are produced over a long period. 
If we were restricted to a single pink variety it would be 
Betty Ann. Illustrated on opposite page. 
BLAZONRY Each 1.50 
One of Mrs. Nesmith’s splendid introductions. Described as 
Persian Red the big flowers are noteworthy for their bril- 
liance in the garden. 
BUCKEYE RED Each 1.00 
A recent creation developed by A. E. Curtis, famous hybridizer 
of Oriental Poppies. Very deep red. Excellent growing habits. 
CERISE BEAUTY Each .85; 3 for 2.25 
A most enchanting variety for which untrue salmon pinks 
have been sent out. The actual color is light to medium cerise 
pink. As this color is rare in Poppies every collection should 
include this fine variety. 
CHEERIO Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
No Poppy collection is complete without CHEERIO and no 
variety will attract more attention. The large shell pink flowers 
are distinguished by glowing cherry red basal spots in place of 
the usual black. Illustrated on opposite page. 
CLAUDE FOX Each .85; 3 for 2.25 
The deepest red poppy we have seen. Dark crimson flowers 
practically cover an established clump when in full bloom 
creating an impressive picture. Medium size and height. 
CRIMSON POMPON Each .85; 3 for 2.25 
We are always fascinated by this pretty double red poppy. 
The nodding medium sized flowers are borne on short, wiry 
stems. One of the first to bloom and ideal for foreground 
planting. 
CURTIS GIANT FLAME Each 1.00 
Generally rated as the largest of all poppies. Established plants 
produce mammoth flowers up to 11 inches across. Carried on 
heavy 4 foot stems the flaming red flowers simply blaze in 
the garden. One of the most outstanding Curtis introductions. 
CURTIS GIANT FLESH PINK Each .85; 3 for 2.25 
Immense 9 inch flowers of flesh pink tinted lavender. Best 
planted in partial shade as this color fades badly in full sun. 
A beautiful cut flower. 4 feet. 
CURTIS GIANT SALMON PINK Each .85; 3 for 2.25 
Many consider this to be the finest salmon pink variety. Large 
flowers on heavy 3 foot stems. 
EMPRESS OF INDIA Each 1.50; 3 for 3.50 
The top ranking red poppy in our opinion. Visitors in our 
garden invariably select this when searching for the best red. 
Color is vivid deep scarlet without a trace of orange. The huge 
cup shaped flowers on tall rigid stems will dominate any poppy 
planting. Illustrated on opposite page. 
FIELD MARSHALL VON DER GOLTZ Each 1.50 
An older white variety, rarely offered today, that we still con- 
sider the best of this color by all standards. Most white poppies 
are so near alike in color that they may be distinguished only 
by other characteristics such as blooming season, height, root 
structure, etc. Late midseason. 
54 
GLOWING EMBERS Each .85; 3 for 2.25 
Very large light red flowers with unusually crinkled petals. A 
fine grower and distinctive variety that we like more each year. 
GLOWING ROSE Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
Beautiful deep rose pink and one of the very first to bloom. 
Big flowers on tall heavy stems. A recent Curtis introduction. 
GOLD OF OPHIR Each .85 
Nearest approach to yellow and the best of this color. Clear 
orange flowers of medium size are produced in copious quan- 
tities on 2 foot stems. Typical flowers do not appear until the 
second year. 
JESSIE CURTIS Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
Striking mahogany red best planted in partial shade. A new 
Curtis variety and the only one of this color in our list. Novel 
and a lovely subject for flower arrangements. 
JOHN III Each .85; 3 for 2.25 
Medium coral pink flowers on dwarf stems 20 inches high. 
We are exceptionally fond of this low growing poppy as the 
plants develop into neat compact bushes that are literally 
covered with blooms in May or June. Unlike many of the 
tall varieties this dwarf never requires staking and is tidy 
at all times. 
MANCHU’S FAN Each .85; 3 for 2.25 
In addition to being one of the best scarlets this variety is 
characterized by long green bracts extending beyond the 
perimeter of the flower. Another Curtis creation that we 
consider unique and highly desirable. Strong stiff stems. 
MARY JANE MILLER Each .85; 3 for 2.25 
Extra large Geranium Pink with huge black basal spots. Rated 
by many poppy fanciers as the finest Neeley introduction. 
Very early and a great favorite with visitors. 
NORTH DAKOTA GOLD Each .85; 3 for 2.25 
Deep orange very similar to GOLD OF OPHIR in all but one 
respect. It blooms much earlier thereby prolonging the season 
for this color. 
PINK CORAL Each 1.50; 3 for 4.00 
Well described by its name this charming new poppy will 
surely appeal to all. The color is actually a few shades lighter 
than Coral (Maerz & Paul). The clear tone and lacquered 
finish without any trace of basal spots to mar the solid color 
present a glorious new poppy unlike any other we have seen. 
Large, well formed flowers on stems of medium height. Mid- 
season. 
RASPBERRY QUEEN Each 1.50; 3 for 4.00 
Novel and intriguing this new Curtis variety will delight those 
who desire something quiet different. Well named, the im- 
mense blooms on tall stiff stems are the color of crushed black 
raspberries. Plant in partial shade as this color fades badly 
when exposed to the hottest sun. No variety attracted more 
attention here last year. Midseason. 
RED CRINKLES Each 1.00 
New deep red of medium size and height. The heavily crimped 
flower intensifies the color and the petals fairly glitter. A 
strong grower and profuse bloomer. Curtis introduction. 
SALMON GLOW Each .85; 3 for 2.25 
Largest double variety. The magnificent flowers of clear 
salmon orange are carried on tall stiff stems. The first blooms 
are fully double but as the season progresses they become less 
so. A Dutch origination that has won high awards.
