POPPIES, SHIRLEY 
Papaver rhoeas 
Poppies are charming subjects in the gar- 
den because of their brilliantly colored 
flowers and the freedom with which they 
are produced. They are easy to grow in 
ordinary soil exposed to the sun; seed 
should be sown where intended to flower as 
early in the spring as the soil can be worked. 
They bloom quickly. Make successional 
sowings for a continuous display. 1% ft.
