STRANGER than fiction are some of the modern
creations in horticulture. The Black Tulip
once caused a political upheaval in Holland,
the seedless orange changed the fruit industry
of California and now the Oriental Poppy pro¬
mises to change the complexion of our gardens.
It is being made to reproduce itself in
heretofore unknown colors. No longer must we
content ourselves with the old fashioned orange
red poppies of our grandmother’s garden. These
aristocrats of the flower world may now be had
in "Old Rose Pink", "Lilac-rose", "Golden
Orange", "Coral Pink", "Carmine", "Flame Scar¬
let", "Shrimp Pink", "Cerise" and in fact many
other shades which harmonize beautifully with
other spring flowers.
The color descriptions marked * are taken
from "Color Standards and Nomenclature" by
Ridgway, and are checked repeatedly for accur¬
acy. The numeral following the name indicates
the usual height when in bloom.
WHEN TO FLANT ORIENTAL POPPIES— JULY and aUGUST.
The balance of the year, even through the
winter months, they are in an active growing con¬
dition. The dormant season, unlike most other
plants, is midsummer and if moved then good re¬
sults are sure to be secured. Of course, the
clumps increase in size with age and may be left
in the same spot for many years.

"All the Oriental Poppies I purchased from you bloomed
this year and I have never had anything as lovely and
surprising as to unusual color."
Mrs. Frank Acton; Elkins Park, Pa.
"Last August I ordered a selection of varieties of your
field-grown Oriental Poppies. One of these by the name
of WELCOME I prize very highly, due to its decorative
character. This one plant produced in May four very out¬
standing blooms of very fine quality. The petals are
true to color, with firm, long straight stems. And when
we had the Country Club Amateur Garden Show in May of
this year, this one flower was selected for the Blue
Ribbon prize, as being the outstanding flower in this
class exhibited at the show.
"I am sure that only such marvelous results can be
produced from good, high class field-grown stock and
not from the so called pot-grown quality."

Truscon Laboratories

SOIL CONDITIONS FOR ORIENTAL POPPIES— They will
thrive and prosper in any good garden soil,
whether it be sandy, clay, loam, or even heavy clay.
However, they dislike having water stand /over them
for any prolonged period, or even where the water
level is as close as six inches from the surface of
the ground. They do not seem to be particular as to
lime or acid soils, nor should they have any strong
fertilizer in any form. Leaf mold seems to be their
favorite source of food.

Arrangement of foppies in the garden— oriental
poppies have long suffered the reputation of not
harmonizing with other garden flowers. This idea is
the fruit of ignorance, for there are a great many
varieties of poppies which will go well with any other
respectable garden flowers. One of the prettiest
garden combinations conceivable is a soft pink poppy
such as Watteau or Pink Beauty in combination with
Belladonna Delphinium and Madonna Lilies. Another
good combination is the variety Welcome used with
Regal Lilies with a good variety of Mock Orange as a
background. Of course, the promiscuous use of the
old-fashioned seedling oriental poppies does create a
clash of colors in the garden, but a little fore¬
thought in the proper selection of named varieties
will avoid any such criticism. The deep red oriental
poppies always make a splendid appearance where they
can have a background of dark green evergreens or
white blooming shrubs such as Syringes.

DAYTON, OHIO
CARE OF ORIENTAL POPPIES — Oriental Poppies need
very little special care, as they are not
ordinarily susceptible to disease or insect pests.
About the only care which is necessary is the usual
cultivation and weed control, and when new plants
are entering their first winter it is well to mulch
the surface of the ground under the leaves of the
plant with a light layer of excelsior or straw.
Newly planted poppies require moderate watering if a
dry season should prevail following their planting.

SEQUENCE OF BLOOM- -Re cent developments in the
varieties of oriental poppies have extended
the period of bloom a great deal. With the proper
selection of varieties we can now extend the poppy
season over a period of nearly six weeks, beginning
the 15th of May and ending the first of July. The
earliest variety to bloom is the double, orange
colored Olympia. This is soon followed by May
Queen and Harmony. Other very early varieties com¬
ing before the first of June are Henri Cayeux, King
George, and Beauty of Live mare. The first half of
June brings Lula A. Neeley, Purity, Enfield Beauty,
Cerise Beauty, Julie Buck, and Mahony into bloom.
These are followed by Lightness, Salmon King,
Gaiety, Joyce, and then come Perfection, Perry’s
White, Wunderkind, Mandarin, and Trilby. The sea¬
son is usually ended with the last flowers of Mrs.
Stobart, Lore ley , Colonel Bowles, and Echo.

ORIENTAL POPPIES IN BOUQUETS — When properly pre¬
pared, poppies will maintain their freshness and
last as long as many other varieties of garden flowers.
The newly opened flowers or buds which have burst and
are showing color are the ones to cut. Then burn the
cut ends of the stems over a blaze until they have
charred to a length of one to two inches. Immerse the
stems in cold, deep water and place in a cool, shaded
location for a couple of hours, after which time they
may be arranged in suitable bouquets and by adding
fresh, cool water twice a day they will give surpris¬
ing results.
