Exceedingly beautiful free blooming plants. Sow seed in open border in 

 May or June. H A. 



Giant Califoniian Eschscholtzla — A new strain of this well-known an- 

 nual, producing much larger flowers than the ordinary variety. The in- 

 troducer thus describes it: "This new Giant Eschscholtzla is destined to 

 become very popular; the flowers are enormous, measuring 4 to 5 inches 

 across, almost as large as saucers, on plants grown in congenial situa- 

 tions, and the flowers are borne in such lavish profusion as to fairly 

 hide the plants, although the latter are usually robust and luxuriant. 

 This giant strain has been produced by careful selection for a number of 



years, and contains several beautiful colors in mixture 10
