Oriental Poppy roots are sent to you in August. 
ORIENTAL POPPY 
Note: Oriental Poppies should be transplanted only in 
the late summer. All orders received in the spring will be 
reserved for fall shipment.

years. Grow in any soil but are best in a rich loam.

PRIMROSE 
(Polyanthus) 
These gay border flowers blooming in early 
spring are very easy to grow and multiply so 
rapidly that they should be divided every two 
years. Will grow in sun but prefer a little shade. 
Primula veris, Mixed Colors. Shades of yel- 
lows, orange red and combinations of these 
colors. 
45e¢ each; 3 for $1.15; Doz. $4.00. 

Gay Primroses are true “harbingers of spring”.

Plant them in any airy place in good garden 
soil. Keep well watered in late summer. Cut off 
flower heads before they go to seed.

“My hobby being flowers, I was so pleased with 
tuberous begonias, which I had last year. They were 
the envy of all and I haven’t seen any others around 
this vicinity. They are easily grown and will try 
more this year.” Mrs. William Winkler, 
Warrensburg, N. Y., 5/7/47 

When the gay pink Creepirg Phlox begin to bloom 
we feel that spring has really come.
