POPPIES. 



A great advance has been made in recent years in the development of the 

 Poppy, vi^hich has brought it into deserved popularity, and it may be safely 

 said that no other flower produces a more brilliant display of color daring 

 the blooming period. Annual Poppies should be sown as early in the spring 

 as possible where they are to remain, as they do not stand transplanting.
