Poppy 
ANNUAL POPPIES 
Sow the seeds where you want them 
to grow because it is difficult to trans- 
plant them. While they grow everywhere 
and under almost all conditions, they are 
at their best if grown in a light, well- 
manured soil, and are most effective in 
masses.

stems—dainty flowers of a light, pa- 
pery, silky texture, giving a wealth of 
color in the garden. Several sowings 
should be made for succession of 
blooms. Sow broadcast where intended 
to flower, as they do not transplant 
well. A beautful effect can be had by

PORTULACA 
Portulacas must have a sunny situation 
but they grow_well in almost any soil. 
They are but 4 inches high, of spreading 
habit, and form a dense, thick carpet 
when grown in beds. They bloom most 
freely all through the summer and fall.
