Shirley Poppies 
Michell’s Poppies 
One of our favorite and most popular 
flowers, producing, during the blooming 
period, a profusion of brilliant colors and 
shades. Seeds should be sown as early in the 
spring as possible, where they are to remain, 
as they do not stand transplanting. Sow 
very thinly and barely cover the seed, press 
down firmly, and they will come up in a few 
days. Several sowings of the annual varieties 
may be made at intervals to have a succession 
of bloom.
