POPPY 
Sown in fall or early spring, annual Poppies may be brought 
into bloom almost before the tulips have finished blooming.

and range of color that Poppies provide. Sandy loam suits 
them best; they do not stand transplanting. Sow thinly on 
top of well-prepared soil. Blooms in May and June. Height 
2% ft. Culture A.
