ESCHSCHOLTZIA 



" Golden "West." 



The.se Giant-Flowering "California Poppies" are 

 among our most beautiful and popular an-iuals. From

 autumn, making them invaluable for bedding. The 

 flowers of these new giants are of immense size, from A 

 to 6 inches in diameter. The colors are intense ana 

 .shining yellows. In some an orange blotch almost 

 suffuses the whole flower, in others it runs into the yellow 

 in fine penciled lines, others again have an orange centre 

 with a margin of clear yellow. (.SVe cut.)

 scarlet w-ith gold edge, blood-crimson with yellow edge, yel- 

 low with orange disk, golden with scarlet border, pure yel- 

 low, fiery crimson and many others. These magnificent 

 Gaillardias are hardy perennials, less coarse and more com- 

 pact in growth than the older kinds and they produce a 

 constant succession of flowers all summer and fall ; when 

 grown in large groups they are gorgeously effective. As

 brilliant flowers, on long, self-supporting stems, "vase" 

 handsomely, and they last in water for days.
