NUDICAULE (Iceland Poppy) 
"California" 
(Diener) 
Flowers are golden orange, exactly like the Cali¬ 
fornia Wild Poppy, Escholtzia Californica, in size 
and color. It is a very valuable cut flower for grow¬ 
ing under glass in the winter, where it is raised the 
same as carnations, and for outdoor bedding. It 
flowers for months and brings a great amount of 
flowers on stem:; fifteen to twenty inches long and 
lasts well when cut. We are selling a quantity of 
Poppy plants locally in 3-inch pots at 10 cents each 
or $1.00 per dozen; having one or two open flowers 
in eight to ten weeks after sowing. It is one of the 
best sellers I have ever seen. People who see it in 
flower want it immediately.

Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, Calif. 
Dear Sir: Last year, the first time I had your seeds, I 
enjoyed the most beautiful Petunias and Zinnias I have 
ever seen. The Zinnias were simply gorgeous, blooming 
until October and making a most brilliant display of beau¬ 
tiful colors. I am not exaggerating when I say that with 
few exceptions the blossoms measured five inches across. 
Yours sincerely, 
mrs. c. g. McDonald.
