CALIFORNIA WILDFLOWERS 
A FRASER SPECIALTY 
They bring romance, novelty and beauty to the garden and require a minimum of 
water and care. The best time to sow seed is in the Fall or during the rainy season. 
Sowings made after the rainy season is past will have a shorter blooming period, slower 
germination and will require watering to succeed. In California and Southern states 
plant by the end of October. 
Nature provided this seed with a tough husk to preserve the specie during period of 
drought. It requires rain and moist, warm ground, to germinate this seed, all of which 
nature provides in due season. Seed planted too late in the Spring will often carry over 
to the following Spring before it will germinate. Nature plants this seed almost on the 
surface of the ground, then provides continuous moisture near the surface during the 
period of germination, after which the plant requires very little water.

NEW CALIFORNIA POPPIES 
IN SUNSET SHADES 
Eschscholtzia 
The original golden cup that is known as 
the true California Poppy, has furnished the 
base for the remarkable color range of the 
present poppy. The size has been greatly in¬ 
creased, and the petals of the flowers have 
been charmingly frilled and ruffled. As a cut 
flower they are far more satisfactory than 
most people realize, the trick being to cut the 
flowers in the early morning before the buds 
open.
