SHIRLEY POPPIES. 
A New Poppy — Orange Cream 
The Eschscholtzia Californica is almost 
always called "The California Poppy"; it 
is not a true poppy. The real California poppy is an exceedingly rare plant, 
growing in only two places in the world, and is not even mentioned in cyclopedias 
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. 
Packet, 20c; three, 50c.

charming of all the giant paeony flowering poppies.

delighted with the rare beauty of the Rosy Giant. Height 3 feet. Sow thinly as 
every seed will make a rugged plant. Packet, 20c; three, 50c.

Fairhaven, Mass.— Everything from your seeds for the past five years has done well. The 
California Poppy bed is as fine as if it were in your State. It has been a blaze of color since 
June and is still in bloom. Many of the blossoms are three and one-half inches in diameter, 
with foot-long stems. The "Desert Sunset" Asters have been wonderfully lovely; such an exquisite 
shade. The colors of your gladioli have been marvelous. J. B. Van N.
