ANNUAL POPPIES 
Sow the seeds where you want them to grow because it is difficult to 
transplant them. While they grow everywhere and under almost all con¬ 
ditions, they are at their best if grown in a light, well-manured soil, and are 
most effective in masses. 
Schling 9 s New Double Hybrids

qualities of its flowers. While other Poppies will last but a few days when

some of them beautifully striped and penciled, nearly all of them double 
and finely fringed. 4 ft. Pkt. 35 cts., 5 pkts. $1.50, b*oz. $3, oz. $10.
