Poppies 
Successive Sowings Bring 
Blooms all Season 
One of the grandest garden annuals. So easy to grow, 
that the mere throwing of seed on the ground will bring 
forth their gay, flaunting colors. Masses of beautiful 
hybrids have been evolved, vying with each other in 
glorious beauty. The annual varieties should be sown 
where they are to flower, as they will not stand trans- 
planting. Sow seed thinly, cover lightly, and thin to 
8 in. apart. Can be sown as late as June, but the best 
plants are those grown from early sowings when the 
soil is cool and moist. If the flowers are gathered early 
in the morning when the dew is on them, and the end 
of the stems dipped in hot water to stop bleeding, they 
will remain fresh for several days.

Although hardy perennials, these dwarf Poppies bloom 
the first season from seed sown early in Spring. Plants 
are of graceful neat habit with fern-like foliage pro¬ 
ducing their brilliant, fragrant flowers in profusion, 
and if the seed pods are picked off, continue to flower 
all season.

Oriental Poppies— 2 to 3 ft., June 
Oriental Poppies rival the Darwin Tulips in gorgeous 
beauty. The magnificent foliage, sturdy stems, large 
cup-shaped flowers with crinkled petals, make them 
one of the showiest and effective flowers grown. Sow 
early in Spring. It is well to mark the place where 
they are planted, as the plants disappear in July and 
August, appearing again in cool weather. When this Fall 
growth starts, transplant to their permanent location.
