POPPY (Papaver) 
Before tulips are fairly gone our gardens begin 
to be gay with Poppies. Few flowers have the 
same grace of stem, airiness of poise, and delicacy 
of tissue. For beds and borders, with a back- 
ground of green, there is nothing finer. Some 
sorts are admirable for naturalizing in open 
wooded grounds; others, like the Shirley, are 
beautiful for cutting. A sandy loam suits Poppies 
best, and, as their strong tap-roots are difficult to 
transplant, it is well to sow the seed where the 
plants are to bloom. Sowings made in fall and 
at intervals in spring will provide a long succes- 
sion of flowers. Sow thinly, covering very lightly, 
and thin the plants to stand about a foot apart. 
The best plants are those grown from early sow- 
ings while the soil is cool and moist.
