A & M POPPIES 
The different varieties of poppies are always favorites for outdoor display and the cultivation of them being 
so extremely simple entitles them to a place in every garden. Seed should be sown where the plants are intended 
to flower, because it is difficult to transplant them with any measure of success. Thin to 12 inches apart and give plenty 
of water just before buds appear. In California, October to March is the best planting season. Poppies cut in the 
bud will open and make beautiful bouquets.
