Poppies 
Poppies are charming subjects in the 
garden because of their brilliantly col¬ 
ored flowers and the freedom with which 
they are produced. They are easy to 
grow in ordinary soil exposed to the 
sun; seed should be sown where in¬ 
tended to flower as early in the spring 
as the soil can be worked. They bloom 
quickly. Make successional sowings for 
a continuous display.
