ORIENTAL POPPIES AND THEIR CULTURE 
Oriental poppies are quite hardy, and stay green most of the 
winter under a light covering of coarse litter as a mulch. 
When spring comes the plants make a rapid growth, and during 
May develop flowers of radiant brilliance. Then in July and 
August the foliage dies down as this is their dormant season. 
Transplant poppies in the dormant season, (August, Septem- 
ber, and October), carefully planting them in good loam garden 
soil, not heavy clay. with good drainage. Cover the crown 
with two to three inches of good loam soil, and when freezing 
weather sets in, mulch over winter.
