Type of Single Iceland Poppy 
ICELAND POPPIES—Papaver Nudicaule 
These produce myriads of brilliant flowers, delicately perfumed 
on stalks, foot high, from early in May till frost if not allowed to 
seed. There is a certain class to these flowers and a strong appeal 
that makes them ready sellers and there is no flower that is more 
profitable to grow. In European markets millions of blooms are 
being sold every season and the wonder is that they are not being 
grown more liberally by the florists in this country. Fall is the best 
time to plant them, but they will bloom the same year if planted 
early in March. For shipping they should be cut in bud stage. Ab¬ 
solutely hardy. Height 15 inches. Perennial. Should be spaced 5 
inches apart and exposed to full sunlight. 
Sow the seed in July and August to get a big crop of bloom the 
following spring and summer.
