Culture. Poppies are best planted during their dormant season or 
early fall growth, which is from August 1st to October. Choose strong 
Field Grown stock, not pot grown varieties. Plant crowns 2 in. deep in 
good garden loam, be sure that the ground does not settle and leave a 
hollow over the crown in which water may stand during winter. After 
first real freeze give green leaves a light mulch of excelsior or marsh hay.
