Papaver orientale 



Oriental Poppies 



Papaver orientale 



® 



Oriental Poppies enjoy great popularity 

 on account of their showy appearance in 

 the garden. They also are good for cutting 

 if the stem end> is seared in a flame for 

 about five seconds before being placed in 

 water. Sow during early summer in a 

 special seed bed where the plants can 

 remain until fall of the following year. They 

 are not difficult to transplant during late 

 summer and fall when the foliage has 

 disappeared. We offer a number of splen- 

 did varieties.
