Dwarf Morning Glory 



Eschscholtzia 



Fully as valuable as the com- 

 mon' Poppy for garden orna- 

 mentation since the flowers 

 are in bloom through a much longer season. A bed in full 

 bloom of these large saucer-shaped flowers in various shades 

 of yellow with orange center gives a brilliant color effect. 

 The foliage is finely cut and has a bluish tinge or bloom, 

 delicate and very attractive.

 are wanted to bloom as they do not bear transplanting well. 

 L'se well pulverized soil, mkke the rows one foot apart and 

 cover the seed one-fourth inch deep. Thin six to eight inches 

 apart. Effective results are also obtained by thinly sowing 

 broadcast and lightly raking in the seed. Hardy annual, low 

 spreading; about one to one and one-half feet high.
