HUNNEMANNIA fumarisefolia (Giant Yellow Tulip 

 Poppy; Bush Eschscholtzia). A member of the 

 Poppy family deserving the increased attention of 

 our customers. Sown early in May, it will quickly 

 grow bushy plants, about 1^ feet tall, of beautiful 

 glaucous-blue, finely feathered foliage. From July 

 until frost, the crowning glory of the 

 plants will be the large, buttercup-like, 

 bright yellow flowers which average 3 

 inches across, borne on 12-inch stems. 

 They last a week in water, after cutting, 

 and some find it profitable to grow this 

 annual under glass, for winter flowers. 

 We heartily recommended Hunnemannia 

 as by far the best of the Poppy family 

 for cutting. Pkt. 10 cts., 14 oz. 25 cts.
