their large flowers and freedom of bloom render them conspicuous in any position.

* Oriental ^oppij 
Culture: Almost any kind of soil suits them, but they do best in deep, rich 
loam. Set the plants out in the fall or early spring before the first of May, 12 inches 
apart. Give them water occasionally during dry spells in the early part of the 
season. Mulch with any litter in the fall; and they will increase in size and florifer- 
ousness for several years. The proper planting season for field-grown roots of 
Poppies is during the last of August and September.
