Michell’s Poppies 
One of our favorite and most popular flow- 
ers, producing, during the blooming period, a 
profusion of brilliant colors and shades. Seeds 
should be sown as early in the spring as pos-

stand transplanting. Sow very thinly and barely 
cover the seed, press down firmly, and they 
will come up in a few days. Several sowings 
of the annual varieties may be made at in- 
tervals to have a succession of bloom.
