©riental Poppies 
Best of the American and Foreign Varieties. 
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.
