POPPIES, Papaver 
Poppies have long been favorites. All are 
easily raised from seed which should be sown 
where the plants are to remain, later thinning to 
8 or 12 inches between plants. In the North, 
sow in the open ground as early as possible 
in the spring; in California, sow from October 
to March.
