Eschscholtzia (California Poppy, Gold Cups) 



This I)eautiful and brilliant annual has been greatly improved in recent years, and we 

 now have many beautiful and unusual colors. 



Seed may be sown at any time during the spring, the earlier the better where they are 



to remain as they do not stand transplanting. They will grow nicely and 



if bloom profusely over a long season in any sunny position. As a subject 



f for beds of any size or as a border, their finely cut, blue-green foliage, and 



-5^ glossy flowers of satin-like texture, make them one of the most desirable 



annuals. As cut flowers they are very artistic, and when used for this 



^ purpose, should be cut when in bud. 1 foot.
