The seed 3 should be sown w&ere the piants are to bloom, either in September or early in spring. Piants started in au- tumn bloom earlier and do better than those sown in spring. All are gorgeous in masses. P. umbrosum looks well upon the rear lawn, < r where the grass is not cut too freely, the scarlet flowers making a fine contrast with the green of tne landscape. Mr. Park:—My Poppies fiom seed purchased of you were lovely. Both single and double in every con- ceivable shade of red, lovely pure white ones, whit° tieged with pink, red edged with white, brown, brown and white, and one blue one. Everyone ad- mired them.
