Large Oriental Poppies 
Papaver Orientale — 
These are the regal representatives of this popular genus, 
growing 3 to 34 feet high, and far surpassing in splendor of 
bloom all the annual and ‘biennial kinds, and for a gorgeous 
display of rich and brilliant coloring nothing equals them during 
their period of flowering in May and June, and whether planted 
singly or in masses their large flowers and freedom of bloom 
renders 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 early 
spring before the first of May—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 florifer- 
ousness for several years. After flowering the plants die back, 
usually reappearing 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.
