POPPIES. 
Annual Poppies should be sown as early in the spring as 
possible where they are to remain, as they do not stand trans- 
planting. Sow very thinly, preferably in cloudy weather or 
after a shower, barely cover the seed, press down firmly, and 
they will come up in a few days. If they come up too thickly 
‘hey must be thinned out to stand 3 to 4 inches or more apart if 
you wish best results. It is well to make several sowings at 
intervals to keep up a succession of bloom. If picked just before 
expanding the flowers will last several days. It is also advisable 
to pick the old flowers as soon as fallen, which will lengthen the 
blooming season quite a little.

3696 Dreer’s Select Shirley. This is an extra fine 
strain of these charming Poppies. They are single 
and occasionally semi-double, and range in color from 
the purest white through the delicate shades of pale 
pink, rose and carmine to the deepest crimson and 
blood-red, while many are daintily edged and striped. 
In fact, so varied are they that scarcely any two flow- 
ers are exactly alike. ©z., o0)cts - 2.225 Eases wel
