Hardy Perennial 

 Oriental 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 and August, ap- 

 pearing 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 disturb- 

 ance during their annual resting period.
