ORIENTAL POPPIES 
Best of the American and Foreign Varieties 
CuLtTure. Poppies are best planted during their dormant season 
or early fall growth, which is from August lst to October. Choose 
strong Field Grown stock, not pot grown varieties. Plant crowns 
2 in. deep in good garden loam, be sure that the ground does not 
settle and leave a hollow over the crown in which water may stand 
during the winter. After first real freeze give green leaves a light 
mulch of excelsior or marsh hay.
