POPPY (Papaver) 
Before Tulips are fairly gone, our gardens begin to be gay seith Poppies. Few flowers have 
th same grace of stem, ariness of poise and delicacy of tissue. For beds and borders with a 
background of green there is nothing finer; some sorts are admirable for naturalizing in open 
wooded grounds; others, like the Shirley, are beautiful for cutting. A sandy loam suits Poppies 
best, and. as their strong tap-roots are difficult to transplant, it is well to sow seed where the 
plants are to bloom. Sowings made in fall and at intervals in spring will provide a long succes¬ 
sion of flowers. Sow thinly, covering very lightly, and thin the plants to stand about a foot 
apart The best plants are those grown from early sowings while the earth is cool and moist.
