Eschscholtzias or California Poppies 
Eschscholtzia—California Poppies ®4 
This beautiful and brilliant annual has been greatly improved in recent years. 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, When of fair size thin the plants to stand 
6 to 8 inches apart in the row. They will grow nicely and bloom profusely from mid- 
summer until frost. Give them a sunny position and a moderately heavy soil which, 
however, should not be too rich. As a subject for beds of any size or as a border, their 
finely cut, blue-green foliage, and 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.
