(California Poppies*) 



GOLDEN WEST. Grand new J^schscholtzias, developed from E. 

 maretima, a pretty variety, having- light, canary-yellow flowers, with an 

 orange blotch at the base of each petal, forming a Maltese cross in the 

 center. The flowers measure from 4 to 6 inches in diameter; they have 

 very large overlapping petals, often delicately waved at the edges. They 

 are beautifully and variously formed; some are flat and wide open, some 

 saucer-shaped, others very deep with flaring edges. In some the orange 

 blotch almost suffuses the whole flower, in others it runs into the yellow 

 in fine penciled lines; others again have an orange center with a margin 

 of clear yellow, while the Maltese cross is very distinct. Words are inade- 

 quate to describe the wondrous beauty of these magnificent flowers, their 

 intense and shining color, immense size and lovely form. They are 

 especially adapted to the eastern climate, owing to their early and long- 

 continued season of blooming, which, united to their brilliant beauty, 

 makes them invaluable for bedding plants. Splendid mixed. 10c pkt.; 

 three pkts., 20c.
