All-Double Poppy, Dazzler 
Poppies—Papaver o»™ 
Where summers are inclined to be hot and dry annual Poppies should be 
sown as early in the spring as possible right where they are to grow as they do 
not stand transplanting. Sow very thinly and barely cover from view. Press 
down the surface and water. Thin out the Shirley Poppies to stand 3 to 4 inches 
apart to encourage well-branched free-flowering plants.
