POPPY 
Annual Poppies should be sown as early as possible in the 
spring where they are to remain as they do not transplant 
readily. It is advisable to mix the seed with builder’s sand, 
using about 25 times as much sand as seed, and then carefully 
broadcast seed on the surface of the ground and firm well. 
Plants should be thinned out to stand about 6 inches apart 
for best results. Seed may be sown in rows also and in suc¬ 
cession up to the middle of May.
