PAPAVER ORIENTALE 



The Large Oriental Poppies 



These are the regal representatives of this popular 

 genus, growing 3 to 3| feet high, and far surpassing in 

 splendor of bloom 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 early spring or fall — give them water occasion- 

 ally 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 in early September, or as 

 soon as the weather gees 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.
