Papa yer Orientals - Oriental Poppy 
Oriental Poppies are the regal representatives of this popular genus, 
growing 3 to 3% feet high, and far surpassing in splendor of bloom 
all the annual kinds. For a gorgeous display of rich and brilliant 
coloring nothing equals them during their period of flowering in May 
and June, and whether planted singly or in masses, their large flowers 
and freedom of bloom render them conspicuous in any position. 
CULTURE: Almost any kind of soil suits them, but they do best in deep, 
rich loam. Set the plants out in the fall or early spring before the first of May, 
twelve inches apart. Give them water occasionally during dry spells in the 
early part of the season. Mulch with dry litter to prevent crown rot in the 
fall; and they will increase in size and floriferousness for several years. The 
proper planting season for field-grown roots of Poppies is during the last of 
August, September and October. In spring, strong plants are supplied in pots 
to imsure SUCCESS,
