 are crinkled and of great substance. The leaves 

 are glaucous and thick, but finely cut. The plants 

 grow two feet tall and bloom in September and

Hunnemannias are handsome garden subjects 

 under any conditions. Sown in a bed with 

 Nigella they offer a pleasing contrast. The 

 flowers are good keepers, lasting a week. They 

 are attractive combined with Baby's Breath. 



As with all the Poppies, Hunnemannia seed- 

 lings do not transplant readily except just after 

 germinating and when taken with a ball of soil. 

 It is best to sow the seed in May where the 

 plants are to grow, thinning them to 8 or 10 

 inches apart. If early results are desired, start 

 the plants in small pots. Plants withstand 

 drought and prefer full sunlight.
