Horned Poppies thrive in Poor Soil 
Now classed with Phacelia, but generally known 
in seed lists as Eutoca. Flowers deep blue, 
over an inch wide ; the white centre is curiously 
decorated with a tiny chintz-like purple pattern 
well worth close examination. But the plant 
is unpleasant to handle, a sticky exudation 
staining the hands. 
Feverfew. See Pyrethrum. 
Gaillardia picta ; 12 to 18 inches. — 
Excellent plants of red and yellow colouring ; 
they can be grown as half-hardy annuals, but 
better still as biennials ; sowing out of doors 
at midsummer and transplanting in September. 
They do best in a warm exposure. 
Gilia tricolor ; h.a. — Pretty plants about 
1 foot high, with white and purple flowers, 
but not of the first importance. The newer 
G. coronopifolia is a remarkable and desirable 
plant, but must be treated as a biennial ; sown 
in June, and wintered in separate pots in the 
greenhouse. The flowers are scarlet, and the 
plant grows to a height of 3 feet. 
Glaucium luteum ( Horned Poppy). — There 
are some garden varieties of this fine native 
Poppywort, but it is doubtful if any exceed it 
in beauty. It is grown as a biennial ; the 
seeds sown in June where they are to flower 
the next summer. It will thrive in poor soil, 
often naturally in bare shingle, but must have 
full exposure to sunlight.
