BETTY ANN 
Each .85; 3 for 2.25 
BETTY ANN 
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 page 49. 
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 page 49. 
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. 
CORAL CUP Each 1.50 
Another Nesmith introduction of greatest beauty. The clear 
coral pink flowers with little or no basal spots are enhanced by 
velvety rose purple stamens. Of large size and great height 
this is the last of all to bloom. One of the finest varieties. 
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 32 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 page 49. 
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. 
50 
average garden soil is sati: 
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. 
ORIENTAL POPPIES 
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 
sfactory and the plants, once established, will increase 
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 Ill Each .85; 3 for 2.25 
Medium coral red 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. 
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 
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. 
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. 
SASS PINK Each .85 
Immense clear pink a little deeper than Betty Ann. Large 
black basal spots. Robust grower. Midseason. 
TANAGER Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
One of the tallest deep reds. Largest flowers of radiant 
beauty and always admired by visitors. A most outstanding 
Nesmith introduction. 
WHITE QUEEN Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
Large white flowers with satin like finish and deep purple 
basal spots. Many blooms are produced on strong stems of 
medium height. One of the best whites. 
WHIRLWIND Each .85; 3 for 2.25 
A hybrid of the old variety OLYMPIA and the most striking of 
all the vermilion or orange red varieties. The giant flowers 
are the largest of this color and the strong stems of medium 
height rarely break down. Midseason. 
WATERMELON Each .85; 3 for 2.25 
This lovely poppy fascinates everyone. Color is watermelon 
pink or begonia rose and is a few shades deeper than WUN- 
DERKIND. The large flowers are borne in generous numbers 
on stiff stems. Truly a poppy of breath taking beauty. 
WUNDERKIND Each .85; 3 for 2.25 
Generally regarded as the finest rose pink variety. The large 
flowers on 3 foot stems never fail to win high i 
ghest praise. Both 
this and WATERMELON are beautiful cut flowers.
