Eschscholtzia (California Poppy, Gold Cups) 



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. They will grow nicely and bloom pro- 

 fusely over a long season in any sunny position. 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. (See cut.)
