Hardy Perennial 



Oriental Poppies 



Oriental Poppies should be sown in early spring in the open 

 ground as soon as it is fit to work. The plants disappear during 

 July and August, appearing again as soon as the weather gets 

 cool. When this fall growth starts is the time they should be 

 transplanted to their permanent flowering quarters. It is well 

 to mark the places they are planted uith a stake to insure the 

 roots against disturbance during their annual resting period.

PORTULrACA (Sun Plant) 



One of our finest annual plants, of easy culture, thriving best 

 in a rather rich, light loam or sandy soil, and luxuriating in an 

 exposed sunny situation; the flowers are of the richest colors, and 

 produced throughout the summer in great profusion. Fine for 

 massing in beds, edgings on rock-work, and frequently used to 

 sow broadcast over sunny banks, etc.; in any case it is well to 

 mix the seed with three or four times its bulk of dry sand or soil, 

 which permits an even and easy distribution of the seed; 6 inches.
