SINGLE and DOUBLE POPPIES 
A great advance has been made in recent 
years in the development of the Poppy which 
has brought it into deserved popularity, and 
it may be safely said that no other flower 
produces a more brilliant display of color 
during the blooming period. Annual Poppies 
should be sown as early in the Spring as pos¬ 
sible where they are to remain, as they do not 
stand transplanting. If constant blossoms 
are desired, successive sowings should be 
made every two weeks.
