ANNUAL AND PERENNIAL FLOWER SEEDS 
POPPY, DOUBLE

The seed may be started indoors early in the year in seed 
boxes and later transplanted or sown out of doors in the 
Spring. Cover very lightly and apply water with a fine 
spray. Be careful not to discard the smaller and weaker 
seediings. From these the finest flowers are often obtained, 
the coarse growing plants frequently reverting to the com¬ 
mon types.

POPPY 
Annual Poppies should be sown as early as possible in 
the Spring where they are to remain as they do not trans¬ 
plant readily. It is advisable to mix the seed with builders’ 
sand, using about 25 times as much sand as seed, and then 
carefully broadcast seed on the surface of the ground and 
firm well. Plants should be thinned out to stand about 6 
inches apart for best results. Seed may be sown in rows 
also and in succession up to the middle of May. It is ad¬ 
visable to pick flowers just as they are expanding as they 
last longer. Removing the old blooms from plants will help 
lengthen the flowering season. 
SHIRLEY. Known as the Flanders Field Poppy of the 
World War. The plants with their deeply cut foliage, slender 
hairy stems, and silky petaled blossoms, often fluted, present

white cross at center. The best substitute for the wild 
Flanders Poppy.

Poppy ranging in color from pure white through tones of

shades of yellow and orange. 18 inches.

deep rose. An Australian variety of great beauty.

Iceland strain. The plants will produce flowers the first 
season from seed sown early.
