Poppies 
Hardy annuals and perennials of quick growth 
and easy culture, yielding a wealth of gor- | 
geous blooms. For beds and borders nothing 
is better. Plant annual varieties where they 
are to bloom, perennial sorts may be trans- 
planted. Barely cover the seeds and press the 
soil firmly. Plant early in the spring, at inter- 
vals during the summer and in the fall for a 
succession. Cut the flowers regularly to in- 
sure a long blooming season.
