CURRIE BROTHERS CO. FARM AND GARDEN ANNUAL. 



§9 



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 effect 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 the case of the Perennial varieties, they must be lifted 

 with a good ball of earth adhering to the roots, and shad© and water well until 

 established.
