Poppies 
Sow as early in the spring as possible, 
where the plants are to remain, as 
they will not bear transplanting. Be 
sure to thin out plants as they come 
up, to 4 to 6 inches apart. Sow at in- 
tervals to keep up a succession of 
bloom. As cut flowers they are short 
lived, but if their stems are dipped in 
boiling water for just one moment 
when cutting they last much longer.
