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 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 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.
