N2  - To the Editor: 
    —A correspondent in The Journal, April 26, wondered whether Flanders poppies are of the opium kind. Yesterday in a New Hampshire car I saw a loan appeal illustrated with a Flanders grave on which were red poppies with a black center. On talking about it, I learned that the poppy is commonly regarded as the flower of sleep or of death. I enclose two quotations and a reference to a picture, Beata Beatrix, which is in the museum of the Chicago Art Institute:On the grass of the cliff, at the edge of the steep,God planted a garden, a garden of sleep;'Neath the blue of the sky, in the green of the corn,It is there that the regal red poppies are born.In my garden of sleep, where red poppies are spread,I wait for the living, alone with the dead.—From a song
