BUIWANK'S 1920 NEW CREATIONS IN SEEDS 
21 
flowers are four and one-half inches in diameter. My plant is four feet tall and the blooms 
measure five and one-fourth inches in diameter. This kind of a flower from a bulblet I regard 
as remarkable. All of your seeds have made a remarkable record for germination. From twenty- 
three tomato seeds planted, twenty-three plants came up. It is a novel experience to me to have 
plants and seeds do more than is claimed for them. You richly deserve your success. M. O. 
Brunswick, Ga. — Please send me twenty-five thousand choice gladiolus seed. I regret that I 
did not order some of all your named gladioli. The "Elora" is one of the finest and most 
satisfactory gladioli that I have ever grown. The stalks are five to five and a half feet, with 
flowers up to five inches across, with six flowers open at once. The top flower on one stalk had 
twenty-four petals and was five inches across. That was some flower. C. S. T. 
Salesi, Ore. — In the Spring of 1917 I purchased of you several hundred gladiolus seeds. These 
were planted in April, and in June, 1918, they began to bloom. Gladioli experts here say such a 
thing impossible. Many of these flowers were very fine and far excel any others produced in 
Salem or Portland, Oregon. J. H. F.

New Bedi-ori), Conn., May 13, 1918. — You are most generous, and we are grateful. Our garden

Peas being the envy of all beholders. Our New England garden is a California garden.

A New Poppy Oranee Cream The Eschscholtzia Cahfornica IS almost 
° always called "The California Poppy"; it 
is not a true poppy. The real California poppy is an exceedingly rare plant

and Botanies. Years ago I began its improvement and now offer seeds of the 
Orange-cream Poppy, one of the most beautiful of all. Annual, fifteen inches high, 
flowers on long slender stems of a color rarely seen in any flower.
