ORIENTAL POPPIES 
For Late Summer: and Fall Planting 
Oriental Poppies, with their brilliant gigan- 
tic blooms, are among the very finest peren- 
nials for the garden, particularly now that 
soft pastel tints are available, ranging from 
softest of pink to deep red and white. They 
are easily grown and once established will 
live for many years. The best time to plant 
them is late summer through early fall. Pop- 
pies should be planted deeper than the gen- 
eral run of perennials. Set the crowns ap- 
proximately 2 inches below the level of the 
ground. Mulch the first winter after planting 
with excelsior, pine branches or other ma- 
terial of similar nature. This mulch should 
not be applied until the ground is frozen, 
possibly November to December, depending 
on the locality. The plants offered here are 
strong field grown specimens and should 
bloom satisfactorily next year. 
These plants will be shipped this fall at 
the proper planting time.
