ORIENTAL POPPIES 
We are glad to list so great a number of fine pop- 
pies as herein given. Were they better known they 
would be planted in every home garden, for no other 
perennial flower is so popular when well known. 
Once planted they always bloom in late May and 
June and occasionally in later months. Place your 
order at the same time as with your iris or hemerocal- 
lis, but do not expect delivery until early September 
for they do not do well if transplanted earlier. The 
plants are shipped in damp moss and the roots should 
not be allowed to dry out. 
Poppies make excellent cut flowers when cut in the 
early morning or late evening, provided the ends of 
the stems are cut and burned over a gas fire immedi- 
ately after cutting. This burning both seals the stem 
and sterilizes the cut surface. Pick the flowers which 
have just opened or just unfolded and place in water 
immediately. Bouquets will last for a week when so 
treated. Unless otherwise stated each flower has six 
petals. Height is given in inches. 
Seed pods should be removed as soon as the petals 
have fallen and the entire stem cut back after it has 
turned brown.
