POPPIES 
These well known, hardy annuals and 
perennials flower in great profusion 
thoughout the summer. Both the single 
and double varieties are very desirable 
for bedding and borders. The flowers are 
remarkable for their large size, delicacy 
of tissue and wide range of bright and 
dazzling colors. Sow seed in open ground 
where plants are to remain, as the annual 
varieties do not bear transplanting, and 
then thin to 6 to 12 inches. To insure con¬ 
tinuous bloom during a long season, the 
flowers should be cut regularly and no 
seed pods should be allowed to form.
