Oriental Poppies, with their brilliant gigantic blooms, are 
among the very finest perennials for the garden, particularly 
now that soft pastel tints are available, ranging from the softest 
of pink to deep red and white. They are easily grown and once 
established will live for many years. The best time to plant 
them is late summer through early fall. Poppies should be 
planted deeper than the general run of perennials. Set the 
crowns approximately 2 inches below the level of the ground. 
Mulch the first winter after planting with excelsior, pine branches, 
or other material of similar nature. This mulch should not be 
applied until the ground is frozen, possibly November to De- 
cember, depending on the locality. The plants offered here are 
strong, fteld-grown specimens and should bloom satisfactorily 
next year.
