Of OYorJ aboul our POPPIES.... 
T HE plants we sell are grown from root divisions and 
are two-year-old field-grown plants. They generally 
bloom the first year after planting and arc very much 
superior to common seedlings usually sold. 
We guarantee them to be true to name and color. 
Complete cultural directions are sent with each order. 
Poppies like a well-drained soil but they are not particular 
whether it is clay, sandy, limestone or acid. Leaf mold, 
well-rotted cow manure and bone meal seem to be the 
best fertilizers.

When to Plant Oriental Poppies 
We have found August to November to be the best time to 
transplant Poppies and once they get established the clumps 
increase in size and produce more blooms. They may be left 
undisturbed in the same place for years. 
Poppies Grow Everywhere 
We have shipped these fine plants to Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico, 
Bermuda, Canada, Newfoundland and practically every state 
in the United States. We pack them so they will reach you 
in prime condition and they are well worth trying in your 
garden. 
How to Prepare Oriental 
Poppies for Bouquets 
The newly opened flowers or buds 
showing color are the ones to cut. Burn 
the ends of the stems over a fire until 
charred an inch or two. Place in a deep 
vase of cold water and keep in a cool 
dark location for two hours. After this 
they may be arranged in bouquets and 
will keep a long time if kept in fresh 
cool water.
