TRANSPLANT POPPIES
IN AUGUST
Transplant poppies in late
summer. Oriental and Iceland
poppy foliage has faded and the
plants are dormant by August.
According to a Pennsylvania
State University correspondence
course on perennial flowers,
poppies need deep, fertile, well
drained soil fully exposed to the
sun. They fail in shade and wet
ground.
Lift the large clump of old
roots and divide into sections.
The outer pieces of the clump
produce the finest flowers. Re
set the sections three inches
deep in soil previously improved
by the addition of organic ma
terial, lime and fertilizer mixed
thoroughly to the 18-inch depth.
Poppies are deep rooted

Important To Take Safety
Measures With Poisons
And Household Chemicals
The only way to keep toddlers
and young children safe from
poisons is to put all yard, gar
den, and household chemicals
under lock and key, advises Del
bert L. Bierlein, pesticides co
ordinator of the Cooperative Ex
tension Service, Penn State U.
A separate cupboard locked
with a combination padlock is
plants, slow to get established,
so don’t transplant them oftener
than once every six to ten years.

ideal for storage. With a com
bination lock, there are no keys
to pick up or lose. Numbers for
unlocking can be put where par
ents can see them so they won’t
need to remember the combina
tion.
All chemicals must be kept in
their original containers so they
are used according to directions
on the labels. Mr. Bierlein cau
tions against putting a chemical
into an empty food container.
Toddlers can’t distinguish food
from poison and will eat or
drink anything.
When measuring and using a
chemical, it’s essential for par
ents to keep children and pets
out of the area and to put away
all foods and dishes or utensils
which may be used for prepar
ing, serving, or eating foods.
After a container of spray,
dust, or liquid is empty, Mr.
Bierlein advises wrapping it in
newspaper and putting in a cov
eied trash can for disposal This
will prevent children from pick
ing up the empty container and
also keep it out of the way of
pets

Aerosols should never go into
trash that is to be burned Such
containers build up pressuie
and will explode It’s better to
put such containers in trash that
will be hauled to a sanitary
landfill or other inaccessible
area, Mr Bierlein adds
