CURRIE BROTHERS COMPANY, MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



POPPIES. 



The large, showy flowers of this genus have been greatly improved 

 during recent years both in size and brilliancy. In lines or groups their 

 «ffeet is simply grand, being one perfect blaze of color all summer. Sow 

 in open ground in the positions they are wanted to flower in. They do 

 not bear transplanting well, and where this is absolutely necessary, as in 

 case of the Perennial varieties, they must be lifted 'with a good ball of 

 earth adhering to the roots, and shade and water well until established.
