Papaver Oriental Oriental Poppy 
Oriental Poppies are the royal representatives of this popular family. 
They have shown a remarkable increase in public favor in recent 
years because so many new and better colors have been added. Rich 
tints of rose, salmon-pink, white and lavender, as well as Indian- 
copper-red are now available besides the brilliant reds. Growing 3 to 
3% feet in height, they contribute a rdre splendor of bloom through- 
out the late spring. Plant them singly or en masse; they have a way 
of dominating, by their gorgeous display of rich and bright coloring 
Barr’s White Each $1.10, Three $2.75, Doz. $9.50 
Large pure white flowers with purplish black spots. This is a free 
blooming and healthy grower. 
Cavalier Each 80, Three $2.15, Doz. $7.00 
One of Dr. Neeley’s latest and best. Strong grower and free bloomer. 
Flowers are crinkly and deep scarlet-red. 
Cerise Beauty Each 95c, Three $2.50, Doz. $8.00 
Distinct cerise-pink flowers on stems of medium height, often 8 to 10 
stems per plant, make this an outstanding variety. You will like it for 
its brilliant coloring and fine habit. 
Cowigan Each $1.10, Three $2.75, Doz. $9.50 
Large massive and substantial flowers of oxblood or spectrum-red on 
rigid, tall, 42-inch stems. This fine red variety is an Australian intro- 
duction, 
Crimson Pompon (Double) Each 80c, Three $2.15, Doz. $7.00 
Blood-red, pompon-like flowers, fully double. The first double Poppy 
in a really red shade. It is of medium height, multiplies readily and 
flowers very freely. This is a Dutch introduction of which we were 
fortunate in obtaining a few plants just before the war and now have 
sufficient stock available for introduction. You'll want to add this 
to your collection. The first Poppy to bloom in spring. 
Helen Elizabeth Each 80c, Three $2.15, Doz. $7.00 
Considered by many as the best pink. It is a rugged grower. The 
straight 34-inch stems are topped by La-France-pink flowers without 
dark spots. We also think it one of the best. 
Henri Cayeux Improved Each 80c, Three $2.15, Doz. $7.00 
Much larger flowers than Henri Cayeux but otherwise similar. The big 
blooms are a peculiar tint of ashes of roses on an old rose shaded bur- 
gundy. If grown in light shade this flower really comes to perfection. 
Indian Chief Each $1.10, Three $2.75, Doz. $9.50 
Larger than the old favorite and a much better grower and more free 
blooming variety. This beautiful mahogany color is badly needed and 
for that reason the old Mahony was always in demand. We have now 
discontinued this and are introducing Indian Chief in its place. It grows 
well, blooms freely, and its flowers are distinct and handsome.

deep, rich loam. Set the plants out in the fall or early spring before 
the first of May, 12 inches apart. Give them water occasionally during 
dry spells in the early part of the season. 
Salmon Glow (Double) Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.50 
A fine double salmon-orange not to be confused with Olympia. The 
flowers are exceptionally large, fully 8 inches across. It is a Dutch 
Origination and selected for the Wisley trials. It received a first-class 
certificate in Holland and is spoken of as a beautiful double salmon- 
orange. Strong, upright growing Poppy. 
Salome Each $1.25, Three $3.35, Doz. $11.00

be a favorite with all gardeners.

Beautiful soft camellia-rose flowers in great numbers grace this va- 
riety in early spring. Large in size, pleasing in color, it stands out

deep rose-pink we have never seen in Oriental Poppies before.

in this coliection. 
Sultana Each $1.25, Three $3.35, Doz. $11.00

ful showing in spring. No other color in Poppies is like it and few

make your mouth water.

is enhanced because of the pronounced blue-black, round spots at the

rieties.
