NEW HYBRID ESCHSCHOLTZI AS 



One of California's foremost specialists in flowers has, for several years, devoted a great deal of time and effort to the improvement of 

 the California Poppy. His new hybrid strain is notable for its erect, bushy plants and profusion of flowers in colors not previously found 

 in Eschscholtzias. Realizing that the California Poppies are not known and appreciated as they should be, we are very much pleased that 

 we are able to offer a selection of these new sorts to our customers, and urge all who want the latest and best in bedding annuals to try them.
