 POPPIES 



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 with a stake to insure 

 the roots against disturbance during their 

 annual resting period.
