Petunias 
The Petunia is peerless among annuals 
for effective summer bedding or win- 
dow boxes. It is of easy culture. 
Blossoms early and continues until 
heavy frost. No other flower produces 
a greater diversity of colors, or retains 
its freshness for so long a period.

Poppies 
Sow as early in the spring as possible, 
where the plants are to remain, as 
they will not bear transplanting. Be 
sure to thin out plants as they come 
up, to 4 to 6 inches apart. Sow at 
intervals to keep up a succession of 
bloom. As cut flowers they are short 
lived, but if their stems are dipped in 
boiling water for just one moment 
when cutting they will last much 
longer. Height, 20 to 30 inches.
