POPPIES. 



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, preferably in cloudy weather or after a shower, barely 

 cover the seed, press down firmly, and they will come up in a few 

 days. If they come up too thickly they must be thinned out to 

 stand 3 to 4 inches or more apart if you wish 1 est results. It is 

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

 bloom. If picked just before expanding the (lowers will last seve- 

 ral days. It is also advisable to pick the old flowers as soon as 

 fallen, which will lengthen the blooming season quite a while.
