Eschscholtzia 



( California Poppy) The state flower 

 of California. A genus of the Poppy 

 family and fully as valuable as the 

 common Poppy for garden orna- 

 mentation since it blooms almost 

 continuously throughout the sea- 

 son. A bed of these in full bloom 

 gives a brilliant color effect. The 

 foliage is finely cut and has a bluish 

 tinge, delicate and very attractive. 

 Hardy annual; height, except Bush, 

 one foot. 



Bush (Hunnemannia) A variety of 

 unusual merit. Leaves are coarser 

 and larger than the common kinds. 

 Flowers are about three inches in 

 diameter and are formed of broad, 

 bright yellow petals with wavy ed- 

 ges, somewhat resembling a yellow 

 tulip. Stems ten inches long. In the 

 northern states the plants should be 

 started in pots and transplanted 

 outdoors. When once in bloom one 

 will be amply repaid for the trouble 

 since the flowers are remarkably 

 brilliant and continue in bloom 

 longer than other varieties which 

 start more readily. Height of plant 

 about two feet. Oz. 50c Pkt. 5c.

 garden. Oz. 35c Pkt. 5c.
