(Papas^er OnentaLe - OrientaL Poppy 
Oriental Poppies are the regal representatives of this popular 
genus, growing 3 to 3^ feet high, and far surpassing in splendor of 
bloom all the annual kinds. For a gorgeous display of rich and brih 
liant coloring nothing equals them during their period of flowering 
in May and June, and whether planted singly or in masses their large 
flowers and freedom of bloom render them conspicuous in any posh 
tion. 
Culture. Almost any kind of soil suits them, but they do best in deep, 
rich loam. Set the plants out in the fall or early spring before the first 
of May, 12 inches apart. Give them water occasionally during dry 
spells in the early part of the season. Mulch with dry litter to prevent 
crown rot in the fall; and they will increase in size and floriferousness 
for several years. The proper planting season for field-grown roots of 
Poppies is during the last of August, September and October. In spring, 
strong plants are supplied in pots to insure success.

Culture. Plenty of well-rotted manure should be freely mixed with the 
soil before planting. The position, too, must be a sunny one. The best 
time to plant is in spring; early fall planting is also very successful. 
Grow them in groups of not less than three plants, planted a foot to 15 
inches apart. In dry weather give copious supplies of water. As soon 
as the first flowers have faded, cut the flowering stems back to their 
base. Every third year divide and replant in early spring.
