HENRY A. DREER, Philadelphia, Pa. 
! Papaver—Poppies 6: 
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 best results. Itis well 
to make several sowings at intervals to keep up a succession of 
bloom. 
Tf picked just before expanding the flowers will last several days. 
It is also advisable to pick the old flowers when the petals fall, 
which will lengthen the blooming season quite a while.
