Bush 
Eschscholtzia 
Eschscholtzia 
(California Poppy) The state flower 
of California. A genus of the Poppy 
family and fully as valuable as tne 
common Poppy for garden orna¬ 
mentation since it blooms almost 
continuously throughout the sea¬ 
son. A bed of these in full bloom 
gives a brilliant color effect. The 
foliage is finely cut and has a bluish 
tinge, delicate and very attractive. 
Hardy annual; height, except Bush, 
one foot. 
Bush ( Hunnemannig) A variety of 
unusual merit. Leaves are coarser 
and larger than the common kinds. 
Flowers are about three inches in 
diameter and are formed of broad, 
bright yellow petals with wavy ed¬ 
ges, somewhat resembling a yellow 
tulip. Stems ten inches long. In the 
northern states the plants should be 
started in pots and transplanted 
outdoors. When once in bloom one 
will be amply repaid for the trouble 
since the flowers are remarkably 
brilliant and continue in bloom 
longer than other varieties which 
start more readily. Height of plant 
about two feet. Oz. 50c.Pkt. 5c.
