Hybrid Delphinium 
Culture of Oriental 
Poppies 
There is nothing more brilliantly attractive— 
more strikingly noticeable in any garden—than a 
clump of Oriental Poppies. 
Many times I had bought plants, only to have 
them die, and many times I had planted seed—but 
with very little success—simply because I did not 
know how to care for them. Finally I bought plants 
in the dormant season and set them out. After be¬ 
coming established in their new home they made 
wonderful growth in the fall. 
Oriental Poppies are guite hardy, and stay green 
most of the winter under a light covering, which 
they should have. When spring comes the plants 
make rapid growth and very soon big fat buds 
appear. In a few days, these buds burst into a 
radiant brilliance, to my joy and satisfaction. 
Do not buy Poppies in the spring and expect them 
to do their best. Buy them in their dormant season, 
in August or early September—carefully plant them 
—let them get their roots firmly established—the 
little feeding roots active and ready for quick work 
in the spring, and you will have glorious Poppies in 
your garden and a trilling satisfaction in your heart.
