Oriental Poppies should be scwn in early spring in the open ground as soon as it is fit to work. The plants disappear during July or 
August, appearing again as soon as the weather gets cool. When this fall growth starts is the time they should be transplanted to their 
Permanent flowering quarters. It is well to mark the places they are planted with a stake to insure the roots against disturbance during 
their annual resting period.

ICELAND POPPIES 
(PAPAVER NUDICAULE) 
While these are hardy perennials, they flower the first year from spring sown seed, 
blooming almost as quickly as the annual sorts. They are of graceful, neat habit, with 
bright green, fern-like foliage, formed in tufts, from which issue slender stalks about 12 
inches high, bearing their brilliant flowers in endless profusion; most useful for cutting, 
for which purpose pick when in bud, and, if the seed pods are picked off, continue in 
bloom early the following spring.
