POPPY, Papaver 
Annual Poppies should be sown as ealy as possible in the 
Spring where they are to remain as they do not transplant 
readily. Mix the seed with builders’ sand, using about 25 times 
as much sand as seed, then broadcast seed on surface of the 
ground and firm well. Plants should be thinned out to 6 inches 
apart for best results. Seed may be sown in rows also and in 
succession up to the middle of May. 
SHIRLEY (a). Known as the Flanders Field Poppy of the World 
War. The plants with their deeply cut foliage, slender hairy 
stems, and silky petaled blossoms, often fluted, present an 
airy picture as they nod in the breeze. Height, 18 inches. 
ALL-DOUBLE FLOWERED. Improved strain of all-double 
Begonia-type flowers. Range of colors from light pink to dark 
crimson with fair sprinkling of Picotee types in scarlet and

summer blooms and for cutting. Pkt. 10c.

Poppy ranging in color from pure white through tones of
