VAUGHAN’'S SEED STORE, CHICAGO AND NEW YORK, BOOK FOR FLORISTS 
Seeds of Biennials and Hardy Perennials 
POPPY 

Cut newly opened flowers either early in the morning or in 
the late evening and immediately (within five minutes of cut- 
ting) burn the ends of the stems at the gas range or electric 
range for a depth of two inches. Burn them well until the ends 
are charcoal and glow red when taken from the fire. Then put 
them in fresh water and your Poppies will last from three days 
to a week in the house, or you can put them in full sun and 
they will stand up two or three days, or until the petals drop, 
without wilting.
