BETTER PEONIES—BY GUMM 
23 
Oriental Poppies 
For dazzling bar¬ 
baric splendor, the 
great ORIENTAL 
POPPIES are abso¬ 
lutely unrivaled. 
They may be used 
singly or in mass, 
and in either way 
give a glow of color 
to the garden that is 
not furnished by any 
other flower. The 
blooms may be kept 
for several days as 
cut flowers if the 
freshly cut stems 
are immediately singed at the cut surface, or if the 
stems are plunged at once into boiling water for a 
moment or two, and then placed in cold water. 
Transplanting should be done in August or early 
September. At this time the plants are dormant and 
there is little danger of failure. Plant so the crown 
will be about two inches below the surface of the 
ground, and after the ground freezes cover with straw 
or course litter to prevent the plants from heaving. 
Prices are for field-grown plants.
