Flowering Plants 
During the months of May and early 
June we offer daily many thousands 
of annual seedling flower plants, 
also potted perennial plants. 
Sow early in the spring 
where the plants are.to re- 
Poppies 
main, as they will not bear transplant- 
ing. Thin out plants to 4 to 6 tnches 
apart. Sow at intervals to keep up a 
succession of bloom. As cut flowers 
they are short lived, but if their stems 
are dipped in boiling water for just 
one moment when cutting: they last 
much longer. 5
