Fully as valuable as the 

 common Poppy for garden 

 ornamentation since the 

 flowers are in bloom through a much longer season. A bed 

 in full bloom of these large saucer-shaped flowers in various 

 shades of yellow with orange center gives a brilliant color 

 effect. The foliage is finely cut and has a bluish tinge or 

 bloom, delicate and very attractive. 



Sow seed early in spring or late in autumn where plants 

 are wanted to bloom as they do not bear transplanting well. 

 Use well pulverized soil, make the rows one foot apart and 

 cover the seed one-fourth inch deep. Thin six to eight inches 

 apart. Effective results are also obtained by thinlj' sowing 

 broadcast and lightly raking in the seed. 'Hardj' annual, 

 low spreading; about one to one and one-half feet high.

 much sun. or can be set outdoors in summer in some
