Hardy Perennial 
Oriental Poppies 
Oriental Poppies should be sown in early spring in 
the open ground as soon as itis fitto work. The 
plants disappear during July and August, appearing 
again as soon as the weather gets ‘cool. When this 
fali growth starts is the time they should be trans- 
planted 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 an- 
nual resting period.
