Hastings’ Superb Mixed Poppies 
Gorgeous is the only word that can describe the brilliancy 
of a bed of our Superb Mixed Poppies. They contain all the 
famous varieties in the widest range of color and shape. Sow 
very early, as seed germinate best when ground is cool. Scat- 
ter thinly and barely cover the small, fine seed. When well 
up thin out to 10 inches apart. They bloom better with plen- 
ty of room for development. Poppies should be sown where 
they are to remain as they need no transpianting. Both sin- 
gle and double poppies are very showy flowers and make 
wonderful beds and borders. California, the famous flower 
state, has great fields of poppies along the railroads and 
highways, the wonder of visitors as well as the admiration of 
Californians. Notice the color illustrations of these beautiful

that hedge is still a wonderful glow of scarlet flowers, the attraction of the 
neighborhood. It is easily grown and certainly you will be pleased with its 
attractiveness. It delights in the warmest, sunniest situations. Sow seed in

scarlet. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents.
