POPPY - Annual 
Hardy Annual. Garden flowers. 1 to 3 feet 
For sheer grace of habit and dainty, silky tex¬ 
ture of petals, no flower can come within miles 
of the annual Poppy. The modern strains abound 
in delicate tints and unexpected hues, much 
daintier, softer and more exquisitely lovely than 
the old types. Sow the seed very early in Spring, 
where the plants are to bloom, as they cannot be 
transplanted successfully. Several successive 
sowings will produce flowers for many weeks in 
Midsummer.
