Poppy as Memorial Flower.

The poppy seems fated to go down
into history as the memorial flower
of the American Legion" 1t was the
common scarlet variety of that flow
er that grows so freely in waste
places that won the regard of the men
overseas. for it bloomed on, about
them. and often the flower was the
only beautiful thing the soldiers saw
for days upon days.
The poppy is one of the oldest
flowers in the worlds literature, and
has been sung in verse and men
toned in holy books by all races. The
Oriental poppies are of orange-crim-
son with black centers and large seed
bags which burst and scatter the seed
in all directions. Other famous varie-
ties include the slender Iceland poppy,
the fellow California variety and the
big double flowers. None of them have
any perfume, but depend upon their
beauty of form and color to attract
and hold the senses.
