HARDY PERENNIALS 
The Old-fashioned flowers 
ORIENTAL POPPIES 
The spectacular Oriental Poppies give that brilliant touch so 
needed in many gardens in May and June. Fall planting is best, 
and strong field-grown plants, given reasonably rich soil and a 
light winter covering, will produce strong flowering plants next 
spring.
