Oriental Poppies (apaver Orientale) 
- Oriental Poppies can be sown any time during the summer and early autumn. 
The plants disappear during July and August appearing again as soon as the weather 
gets cool. When this fall growth starts is the time they should be transplanted to 
their permanent flowering quarters. It is well to mark the places they are planted 
withastake to insure the roots against disturbance during their annual resting period.
