REIIABIE'FLOWER SEEDS 



HARDV PERENNIAI. 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.

 One of our finest hardy an- 

 nual plants, of easy culture, 

 thriving best in a rather rich, 

 light loam or sandy soil, and luxuriating in an exposed sunny 

 situation; the flowers are of the richest colors, and produced 

 throughout the summer in great profusion; fine for massing in 

 beds, edgings or rock-work, and frequently used to sow broadcast 

 over sunny banks, etc.; in any case it is well to mix the seed 

 with three or four times its bulk of dry sand or soil, which per- 

 mits an even and easy distribution of the seed; 6 inches.
