POPPIES 
Good annual varieties of tbe Poppy 
are numerous, ranging in size from 
the little Ranimculus-flowered to 
the large Pseony-flowered. The 
plants have strong tap roots, and are difBcult to transplant. It is 
better to sow the seed early in the spring where plants are to flower.

Mixed Hybrids. 
mula. Chinese Primrose. 
PRIMULA — Chinese Primrose 
Sow from March to June for succession. Seeds are slow in 
germinating. When sowing, press the seeds well into the soif. 
as they are apt to rise to the surface, especially if carelessly 
watered. Prick off thinly into boxes, and allow them to remain 
until of good size. Keep well exposed to the light to promote 
a sturdy growth. From first to last avoid using a close or heavy 
soil: or shifting them until the pots are well filled with roots. 
Overpotting and over-watering are the main causes of failure 
with this class of plant.
