RELIABLE FLOWER SEEDS, 



Hardy Oriental Poppies 



Tip] 



Papavi'r oriontale 



Oriental Poppies should be sown in 

 early spring in the 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. \\'hen 

 this fall growth starts is the time they 

 should be transplanted to their perma- 

 nent flowering quarters. It is well to 

 mark the places where planted with a 

 stake to insure the roots against dis- 

 turbance during their annual resting 

 period. Only a small percentage of the 

 seedlings of named varieties come true to 

 color. It is therefore necessary to flower 

 all of the plants produced before i\'^<- 

 carding.
