Seeds of Perennials 
Ileatherhome’s Oriental Poppies 
These kindly flowers surpass in splendor all other flowers, and for a gorgeous 
display they rival the finest of Darwin Tulips. When they appear in May they reign 
supreme in the garden and it is a great pity that they pass so soon. Masses of 
them form the most spectacular display ever created -in a garden. When the golden 
Alyssum or the white Phlox subulata is used as a carpet, over which these gor¬ 
geously colored giant Poppies wave with the spring zephyrs, no artist could con¬ 
ceive of a more beautiful combination of flowers. Everything connected with the 
Oriental Poppy speaks of strength and majestic appearance—the magnificent foliage, 
the sturdy massive flower-stem, the monstrous flower-cup, the immense seed-pods, 
all have a beauty of their own. These Poppies, for their best success, require a 
sunny situation with a good, rich loam. After their flowering season in May the 
plant goes to rest, frequently loses its foliage during the summer months, but re¬ 
appears in the fall. A slight protection of stable litter during the winter will help 
to curry it through severe weather. It is an easy matter to keep the plants once 
they aro established, but the average gardener seems to find difficulties in estab¬ 
lishing them, and on investigating we find that the failure is due entirely to the 
fact that field-grown plants are used at the wrong time of the year. 
For this reason, we suggest potting up seedlings and plunging them in a frame, 
where they should be wintered. Allow one foot of space for each plant.
