AeM POPPIES 
The different varieties of poppies are always favorites for outdoor display and 
the cultivation of them being so extremely simple entitles them to a place in 
every garden. Seed should be sown where the plants are intended to flower, 
because it is difficult to transplant them with any measure of success. Thin 
to 12 inches apart and give plenty of water just before buds appear. In Cali¬ 
fornia, October to March is the best planting season. Poppies cut in the bud 
will open and make beautiful bouquets.
