Hardy Poppies 
The colorful beauty of Perennial Poppies assures them a place in every garden. 
They are of easy culture, growing to perfection in fairly rich, slightly moist 
but well-drained soil, and in full sun. The seed is best sown where the plants 
are to bloom. 
Nudicaule —Iceland Poppies [H 0 
Iceland Poppies are charming in the border or rock garden, and furnish 
ideal cut-flowers when picked while in bud. The plants form neat, 
compact tufts of bright green foliage, from which arise graceful, wiry 
stems bearing large flowers in brilliant colors in early summer and 
more or less throughout the season. Will flower the first year if seed is 
sown early. Often grown as an annual. 15 to 18 in.
