Poppies 
Hardy annuals and perennials of quick 
growth and easy culture, yielding a wealth 
of gorgeous blooms. For beds and borders 
nothing is better. Plant annual varieties 
where they are to bloom, perennial sorts 
may be transplanted. Barely cover the 
seeds and press the soil firmly. Plant early 
in the spring, at intervals during the sum¬ 
mer and in the fall for a succession. Cut 
the flowers regularly to insure a long 
blooming season.
