POPPIES 
Annual Poppies should be sown as early as possible in the spring where they are to remain, as they do not transplant readily. It is advis¬ 
able to mix the seed with builders’ sand, using about twenty-five times as much sand as seed, and then carefully broadcast seed on the 
surface of the ground and firm well. Plants should be thinned out to stand about 6 inches apart for best results. Seed may be sown in rows 
also and in succession up to the middle of May. It is advisable to pick flowers just as they are expanding as they last longer; removing the 
old blooms from plants will help lengthen the flowering season.
