ANNUAL POPPIES 
Sow the seeds where you want them to grow because it 
_ is difficult to transplant them. While they grow everywhere 
and under almost all conditions, they are at their best if 
grown ina light, well-manured soil, and are most effective 
in masses. 
Dainty Single Shirley. In lovely shades of pink, terra cotta, 
salmon, apricot, and white, many shaded and edged with 
other colors, on slender, hairy stems——dainty flowers of a 
light, papery, silky texture, giving a wealth of color in 
the garden. Several sowings should be made for succes- 
sion of blooms. Sow broadcast where intended to flower, 
as they do not transplant well. A beautiful effect can be 
had by intersowing with our double blue cornflower. Pkt.,
