POPPIES 
Annual poppies should be sown as early in the spring 
as possible; they do not stand transplanting. Sow very 
thinly, barely covering the seed. Press down firmly, and 
they will come up in a few days. It is well to make sev- 
eral sowings at intervals to keep up a succession of bloom, 
ff picked just before expanded, the flowers will last sev- 
eral days. 
SINGLE ANNUAL VARIETIES. 
POPPY— (Select Shirley.) Mixed colors....Oz. 50c; Pkt. 10c 
This is an extra fine strain of these charming Poppies. 
They are single and occasionally semi-double and 
range in color from the purest white through the deli- 
cate shades of pale pink, rose and carmine to the deep- 
est crimson and blood-red, while many are daintily 
edged and striped. In fact, so varied are they that 
scarcely any two flowers are alike.
