For sheer brilliance and gargantuan floral proportions no 
other perennial can match Oriental Poppies. The new shades 
of rose, salmon, lavender and mahogany in addition to the 
flaming reds and clear pinks have increased their popularity 
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 garden flowers, 
Oriental Poppies provide superb material for indoor decora- 
tion. 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 condi- 
tion for several days. 
We have tested over 100 named varieties including recent 
introductions and take real pride in now offering this para- 
mount 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 | or 2 year old plants started 
from cuttings. These are the very best poppies your money 
can buy.
