MICHELL’S POPPIES 35 
One of our favorite and most popular flowers, producing, during the blooming period, a profusion of brilliant colors and 
shades. Seeds should be sown as early in the Spring as possible, where they are to remain, as they do not stand transplanting. 
Sow very thinly and barely cover the seed, press down firmly and they will come up in a few days. Several sowings of the annual 
varieties may be made at intervals to have a succession of bloom.
