^apaver Oneniale 
Oriental Poppies are the regal representatives of this popular genus, 
growing 3 to 3V2 feet high, and far surpassing in splendor of bloom 
all the annual kinds. For a gorgeous display of rich and brilliant 
coloring nothing equals them during their period of flowering in May 
and June, and whether planted singly or in masses, their large fioivers 
and freedom of bloom render them conspicuous in any position. 
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 
- OneniaL (Poppij 
the first of May, twelve 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 fifteen 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.

a most unusual and brilliant effect. The orange band of the 
upper half of the petals varies considerably in width with 
each flower, helping to increase the charm of this rare va¬ 
riety. Happily, Snowflame is a very strong grower and blooms 
freely. It is not subject to any ailments or insect pests. In 
fact, it is one of the strongest growing varieties we have.

of Poppy, Snowflame in your garden will create nothing 
short of a sensation. We send in the spring, strong plants in
