bright green foliage from which spring a profusion 
of slender leafless stems, 1 ft. in height, each stem 
bearing a solitary cup-shaped flower. Valuable in 
the sunny border or rockery. Their brilliant flowers 
are produced all summer. 
CULTURE. Plant 9 inches apart in a well drained, sandy 
soil, and in a sunny position. Set the plants very early in the

PAPAVER ORIENTALE — ORIENTAL 
POPPY 
With all the pomp of barbaric splendor, these 
great poppies flaunt their dazzling colors. Nothing 
eguals them during their period of bloom in May and 
June, and whether planted singly or in groups their 
large flowers and freedom of bloom render them the 
most conspicuous subjects of the garden. 
CULTURE. Almost any kind of soil suits them, but they do 
best in a rich, well drained, sandy loam and in a sunny position. 
Standing water causes the roots to rot, therefore good drainage is 
essential. Set the plants out in the fall or early spring before the 
first of May, twelve inches apart. Water occasionally during dry 
spells in the early part of the season. Mulch with leaves or straw 
in the fall; and the plants will increase in size and floriferousness 
for several years. The proper time for planting field-grown roots, 
is during the latter part of August, September and October. In the 
spring, strong potted plants give best results.
