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.

single flowers with papery, silk-like petals 
in dainty tones of pink, salmon, apricot,

the beauty of the artistic blooms.

PORTULACA — Rose Moss, or Sun Plant RO 
For a brilliant display in low borders, edgings, beds, rock gardens or ground cover, 
nothing can excel portulaca. Blooms early and continuously until frost; must have a sunny 
location, but will grow in almost any soil if well drained. Forms a dense, thick carpet; 4 to 
6 in. tall. Seed is very fine so should be barely covered when sown. Nice to use between 
stepping stones. May be used in window boxes if in a sunny location. 
Double Flowered 
Flowers are like little roses. Seed 
saved from perfectly double flowers 
will produce some singles. As these 
usually bloom first, they can be re- 
moved if desired and a double flow- 
ering plant put in its place later. 
2654 Pink Bright and lively color.
