POPPIES 
If you haven’t Poppies in your garden you have certainly 
noticed a lack of color in one or two spots. With their wide 
range of magnificent colors it is impossible to have a 
beautiful “rainbow” bed in a dull corner that now lacks 
gaiety. Sow seeds very early where they are to remain.

will last several days.
