Petunia, Breck’s Ruffled Giants 
Poppy 
For sheer grace of habit and dainty silky texture of petals, no flower can come within 
miles of the annual Poppy. The modern strains abound in delicate tints and unexpected 
hues, much daintier, softer, and more exquisitely lovely than the old types. Sow the seed 
very early in Spring, where the plants are to bloom, as they cannot be transplanted success¬ 
fully. Thin the plants to stand 9 to 10 inches apart. Several successive sowings will pro¬ 
duce flowers for many weeks in Midsummer.
