SELECTED ORIENTAL POPPIES 
Stern's proudly presents the imperial gem of all Oriental 
Poppies. Here is brilliant beauty—so spectacular that a sin- 
gle plant gives a gorgeous display that glorifies the entire 
garden. 
Only since the war has the Oriental Poppy gained recog- 
nition in this country. Formerly, just a few leading gardeners 
could boast of these rare plants. For some unexplainable rea- 
son this magnificent flower remained almost unknown for 
years. Today—the Poppy is one of the most wanted flowers 
in America. 
Stern's Jewel of Burma Oriental Poppies range in color from 
rich tints of brilliant red, rose red, salmon pink, light pink to 
pearl-white—and across the spectrum to a glowing lavender. 
Each flower an exquisite jewel! Enormous blooms—as large 
each summer—once in June and July— 
and a repeat performance in August. 
You'll really appreciate these spectacular 
colors in midsummer when color is need- 
ed most! :
