♦POPPIES, ORIENTAL. The Perennial Popples 
are among: the most brilliant or hardy Row¬ 
ers; the graceful, brightly colored, cup¬ 
shaped flowers are borne on long stems. 
The large-flowering, or Oriental Popples, 
are also the most showy plants for a gar¬ 
den and should be planted early. The fol¬ 
iage of oriental Poppies dies away in tin- 
summer, and many think they are dead, but 
they will start Into growth again In the fall. 
They are rather hard to establish, but once 
established, prove the most persistent per¬ 
ennial.
