GIANT-FLOWERING 



CALIFORNIA POPPY 



Eschschottzia "Golden West." 



Eschscholtzias are among our most beautiful and 

 popular annuals, being of the easiest culture and giving 

 great satisfaction. From spring-sown seeds they flower 

 profusely until late in the autumn, making them in- 

 valuable for bedding. The flowers of these new giants 

 are ot immense size, from 4 to 5 inches in diameter. They 

 are beautifully and variously formed; some are flat and 

 wide, some saucer-shaped, others very deep with flaring 

 wavy edges. These magnificent flowers call forth the 

 most enthusiastic admiration from beholders; the colors 

 are intense and shining yellows. In some an orange 

 blotch almost suffuses the whole flower, in others it runs 

 ii.to the yellow in fine penciled lines, others again have 

 an orange centre with a margin of clear yellow. (See cut.)

" The Golden West Poppies have been a great success — 

 the -flowers were so large and numerous that the bed resembles 

 a sheet of gold, and is the wonder and admiration of many 

 people."

 scarlet with gold edge, blood-crimson with vellow edge, vel- 

 low with orange disk, golden with scarlet border, pure yel-
