SUMMER TRADE LIST, 1955 Ba 
ORIENTAL POPPIES 
These named varieties of Oriental Poppies are grown from crowns. They have 
been transplanted, insuring a heavy plant with good root system. We recommend 
August and early September planting, although they can be planted later. We 
expect to dig in August when dormant and hold in cold storage for late orders.
