CURRIE BROTHERS CO. FARM AND GARDEN ANNUAL. 



50 



POPPIES. 



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

 cent 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 shade and 

 water well until established.
