Oriental POPPIES --TITANS Among Perennials 
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 selected for them. Planted singly or in groups they are 
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.
