Oriental Poppies 



Oriental Poppies should be sown in early spring in tlie open 

 ground as soon as it is fit to work. The plants disappear during 

 July and 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 m rk the places they are planted with a stake to insure the 

 roots against disturbance during their annual resting period.
