36 MICHELL’S POPPIES 
One of our favorite and most popular flowers, producing during the blooming period, a profusion of brilliant colors and shades. 
Seeds should be sown as early in the Spring as possible, where they are to remain, as they do not stand transplanting. Sow very thinly 
and barely cover the seed, press down firmly and they will come up in a few days. Several sowings of the annual varieties may be made 
at intervals to have a succession of bloom.
