Shirley Poppies 



HARDY PERENNIAL POPPIES 



ORIENTAL POPPIES 



Oriental Poppies should be sown 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-hke foHage, formed in tufts, from which issue slender 

 stalks about 12 inches high, bearing their brilHant 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 flower the entire season. They remain evergreen through- 

 out the winter, coming into bloom early the following spring.
