Poppies 
Hardy annuals and perennials of quick growth 
and easy culture, yielding a wealth of gorgeous 
blooms. For beds and borders nothing is better. 
Plant annual varieties where they are to bloom, 
perennial sorts may be transplanted. Barely 
cover the seeds and press the soil firmly. Plant 
early in the spring, at intervals during the sum- 
mer and in the fall for a succession. Cut the 
flowers regularly to insure a long blooming 
season.
