Annual Poppies should be sown as early in the spring as possible where they are to remain, as 

 they do not stand transplanting. Sow very thinly, preferably in cloudy weather or after a shower, 

 barely cover the seed, press down firmly, and they will come up in a few days. If they come up 

 too thickly they must be thinned out to stand 3 to 4 inches or more apart if you wish best results. 

 It is well to make several sowings at intervals to keep up a succession of bloom. If picked just before 

 expanding the flowers w ill last several days. It is also advisable to pick the old flowers as soon as 

 fallen, which will lengthen the blooming season quite a little.
