RELIABLE FLOWER SEEDS 



POPPIES. 



A great advance lias been made in recent years in ihe development of the Poppy, 

 which has brought it inlo deserved popularity, and it may be safely said that no other 

 flower produces a more brdliant display of color during 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. Sow very thinly, barely cover- 

 ing the seed. Press down firmly, and they will come up in a few days. It 

 is well to make several sowings at intervals to keep up a succession of 

 bloom. If picked ju.-^t before expanding the flowers w'ill last several days.
