NEW ICELAND POPPIES 
While Iceland 
Poppies are hardy 
erennials, they 
ower the first 
year from _ seed, 
blooming almost 
as quickly as the 
annual sorts. 
They are of 
graceful neat habit 
with bright green 
fern-like foliage, 
formed in tufts 
from which issue 
slender = stalks 
about 15 inches 
high, bearing their 
brilliant flowers in 
endless profusion. 
Most useful for 
cutting, for which 
purpose pick when 
inbud. If the seed 
pods are picked 
off, they continue 
in flower the en- 
tire season. 
We have had 
Iceland Poppies 
begin blooming 
with the ‘Tulips 
and at least a few 
in bloom every 
day after until 
November. 
Don’t forget— 
the more you pick 
them, the more 
they bloom. Don’t 
let seed pods form. 
They remain 
evergreen 
throughout the 
winter, coming in- 
to bloom early the 
following spring. 
Iceland Poppies 
are valuable also 
in a hardy border 
or in a permanent 
rock garden.

‘‘That ain’t the way I heerd it”’ 
Way TI heerd it, one feller sez, “There wuz 
a smart aleck named Ned, who dined before 
he went to bed on lobster and ham, and cookies 
and jam, and when he woke up he was dead.” 
T’other feller sez, ‘Too bad Ned didn’t tend 
a garden and eat more garden sass. Ned 
shoulda et lettuce, carrots, cabbage, an’ toma- 
toes fresh from his own garden. They is jest — 
a teemin’ with pantomimes.”
