HARDY PERENNIAL 

 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 or 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 with a stake to insure the roots 

 against disturbance during their annual 

 resting period.
