Poppies 
Sow as early in the spring as possible, 
where the plants are ‘to remain, as 
they will not bear transplanting. Be - 
sure to thin out plants as they come 
up, to 4 to 6 inches apart.) Sows. at 
intervals to keep up a succession of 
bloom. As cut flowers they are short 
lived, but if their stems are dipped in 
boiling water for just one moment 
when cutting they last much longer.
