ESCHSCHOLTZIA. 
( Californian Poppy.)— Hardy annuals (or biennials) of immense utility for mixed borders. Hardy, bright, and free-blooming, and of the 
easiest culture. They bloom and flourish equally well on light and heavy soils. Although not generally known. Eschscholtzias are excellent for 
decorative work. If cut early in the morning before the buds unfold, the flowers will last for several days in water. Sow in open in spring, and 
thin out. Ht. 1 ft. 
Many of our later introductions of Eschscholtzias have been characterised by a distinctly compact and upright habit of growth, 
rendering this attractive flower suitable for fronts of borders and other places in the garden not hitherto tilled by Eschscholtzias. We 
classify them accordingly.
