POPPIES 
The different varieties of poppies dre always favorites for outdoor 
display and the cultivation of them:being so extremely simple entitles 
them to a place in every garden. Seed should be sown where the plants 
are intended to flower, because it is difficult to transplant them with any 
measure of success. Thin to 12 inches apart and give plenty of water 
just before buds appear. In California, October to March is the best 
planting season. Poppies cut in the bud will open and make beautiful 
bouquets.
