HYBRID ESCHSCHOLTZIAS 



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.
