 r^^C Y\ ^CT\C%\X'7\ri state flower of Cahfornia. 

 l^d\^Iid\^ilUIL^ICl ^^ g^nus of the Poppy 

 family and fully as valuable as the common Poppy for 

 garden ornamentation since it blooms almost continu- 

 ously throughout the season. A bed of these in full 

 bloom gives a brilliant color effect. 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 edges, 

 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. (See colored plate
