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 average garden soil is satis- 
factory 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 15th. 
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 page 50. 
CERISE BEAUTY Each .85; 3 for 2.25 
A most charming 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 50. 
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 342 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 50. 
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.

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 II 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 appear 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 clear coral shade of lacquered finish 
without any trace of basal spots to mar the solid color presents 
a glorious new poppy unlike any other we have seen. Large, well 
formed flowers on stems of medium height. 
RASPBERRY QUEEN Each 1.50; 3 for 4.00 
Well named, the immense 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 and is a few shades deeper than WUNDERKIND. The 
large flowers are borne in generous numbers on stiff stems. 
A poppy of breath taking beauty. Illustrated on page 50. 
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 highest praise. Both 
this and WATERMELON are beautiful cut flowers.
