26 FAIRMOUNT GARDENS 

Oriental Poppies 
Best of the American and Foreign Varieties 
Culture. Poppies are best planted during their dormant 
season or early fall growth, which is from August 1st 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 the first real freeze give green leaves a 
light mulch of excelsior or marsh hay.
