C l ()forJ about our POPPIES. 
T HE plants we sell are grown from root divisions and 
are two-year-old field-grown plants. They generally 
bloom the first year after planting and are very 
much superior to common seedlings usually sold. 
We guarantee them to be true to name and color. 
Complete cultural directions are sent with each order. 
Poppies like a welbdrained soil but they are not particular 
whether it is clay, sandy, limestone or acid. Leaf mold, 
well-rotted cow manure and bone meal seem to be the 
best fertilizers. 
When Tops Die Down in 
Summer 
Usually in late June and July the 
tops of Poppies die, and they go into 
a rest period. In August and Sep- 
tember they start a new growth 
which remains all winter. So do not 
be alarmed when the tops die down 
in early summer, as this is natural 
and your plants are just taking a rest. 
How to Prepare Oriental 
Poppies for Bouquets 
The newly opened flowers or buds 
showing color are the ones to cut. 
Burn the ends of the stems over a 
fire until charred an inch or two. 
Place in a deep vase of cold water 
and keep in a cool, dark location for 
two hours. After this they may be 
arranged in bouquets and will keep 
a long time if kept in fresh, cool 
water.
