Over-the-Garden- Wall 
Oriental Poppies 
These huge flowers, ranging in color from the deepest red, through bright reds, to pale pink 
and silvery white, with queer shades of crushed raspberry and old rose also, make admirable garden 
subjects. The very dark reds and the “queer” colors should be planted in partial shade, as they burn 
in the hot sun. The others do well in partial shade, tho’ they are sun-loving plants. 
We ship the poppies from August to October, only; and the earlier in those months, the better. 
At this time, they are dormant; just roots, with the leaves starting as the season advances. Cover 
the crown (where the leaves start from the roots) two inches. This means a deep hole and, as the plants 
are heavy feeders, one can use quite some fertilizer. The leaves will start growing almost immediately 
and the dirt should be mounded up in and around them, as they grow; this is to insure against any 
possibility of water standing around the plant during the winter. After the ground freezes, give a 
good mulch of peatmoss or leaves.
