BUY ONLY STRONG FIELD-GROWN PLANTS THAT HAVE BEEN GROWN FROM ROOT 
DIVISIONS OF THE ORIGINAL PLANTS 
We strongly urge never to purchase any seedlings as you will never receive the same quality and they will be 
rather a sad disappointment. Our stock is all of authentic Hybrid varieties grown from original plants that will 
bloom protusely. 
Always plant Poppies in midsummer during normal rest periods. Poppies are handled very successfully if planted 
any time from July to the end of September even through October if necessary. These plants will flower the fol- 
lowing spring. 
Plant Poppies in well-drained soil. Always plant in one of the higher spots in your garden so the plants are not 
grown in too wet soil. 
Poppies will do well in any soil or location. Lime or acid soil is equally suited. Fertilizer is unnecessary unless 
soil is too poor to grow weeds. Roots of Poppies grow straight down to a depth of two to three feet and find 
nourishment where none would seem to exist. 
Planting Poppies, spade your soil twelve inches deep. If heavy soil add gravel, ashes or sand so that it is 
porus. Then dig a hole, place your plant straight down so that the top of the plant is but two inches under the 
ground. Water thoroughly after planting, continue to do so if very dry. These plants will grow some green leaves 
through the fall. When the ground is frozen cover lightly with salt hay or straw. In the spring, rake off hay, culti- 
vate soil freely. Poppies are very easily grown, need very little attention and will give permanent charm to your 
garden.
