POPPIES. 



A great advance has been made in recent years in the development of the 

 Poppy, which has brought it into deserved popularity, and it maybe safely 

 said that no other flower produces a more brilliant display of color during the 

 bloominj period. Annual Poppies should be sown where they are to remain, 

 as they do not stand transplanting.
