POPPY 
Annual Poppies should be sown as early as possible in 
the Spring' where they are to remain as they do not trans¬ 
plant readily. It is advisable to mix the seed with builders’ 
sand, using about 25 times as much sand as seed, and then 
carefully broadcast seed on the surface of the ground and 
firm well. Plants should be thinned out to stand about 6 
inches apart for best results. Seed may be sown in rows also 
and in succession up to the middle of May.
