Annual Poppies 
Poppies while considered "Old 
Fashioned” flowers are nevertheless 
very showy and make a gorgeous bed. 
Sow seeds where plants are to re¬ 
main as they do not transplant well. 
They seed themselves from year to 
year. Give plants at least 6 inches 
of room. Poppies make handsome 
bouquets, although they do not last 
well.
