The species of this genus are very handsome when 
in flower, and on that account well deserving of a 
place in every flower-garden. They succeed well 
in any rich soil, and must be annuidly raised from 
seed sot^Ti on a gentle hotbed early in spring, and 
afterwards planted out in the open border, wtere 
they will produce their flowers and seeds in auti^n. 
If there is any convenience for protecting the young 
plants during winter, the seed should be sown in 
autumn, as by that means the plants will flower 
much earlier and produce seeds with greater cer- 
tainty. Synonymes: \. Eschscholtzia Californica. 2.
