ORIENTAL Poppy. 
PAPAVER ORIENTALE OR 
ORIENTAL POPPY. 
These are the regal representatives of this popular genus, far 
surpassing in splendor of bloom all of the annual and biennial 
kinds, and for a gorgeous display of rich and brilliant coloring noth- 
ing equals them during their period of flowering in May and June, 
and whether planted singly or in masses their large flowers and free- 
dom of bloom render them conspicuous in any position. They are of 
the easiest culture; almost any kind of soil suits them, but they do 
best in deep, rich loam; set the plants out in fall or very early 
spring; give them water occasionally during dry spells in the early 
part of the season; mulch with stable litter in fall, and they will 
Increase in size and floriferousness for several years. After flowering, 
the plants die back, usually reappearing along in early September, 
or as soon as the weather gets cool. During this resting period care 
should be taken in cultivating the beds that the roots are not 
disturbed, any disturbance at this time usually resulting in failure.
