The Eschscholtzia is one of the hardiest and most easily 
grown of our annuals. It is also a very showy one, growing 
rapidly and coming into bloom soon after the plants are 
above ground. The foliage is finely cut and handsome, 
and the flowers exceedingly showy, large and freely pro¬ 
duced. It is a fine flower for blooming in pots, especially in 
winter. p e r pkt.

this remarkable novelty a full page, instead of being 
obliged to crow d it into this small space. Flowers of 
this new Eschscholtzia measure 4 to 6 inches across, 
as large sometimes as ordinary tea saucers. It is per¬ 
fectly magnificent, showing the richest yellow and 
bronze brown colors.10&2C

Godetia. — (Satin Flower) 
A handsome flower, and particularly useful because it 
will grow r in sh&dy places where so few really fine flowers 
can be grown. They bloom a long time and so profusely 
that the foliage is almost hidden by the many large, wide- 
open flowers of shining, satin texture, and of the most 
delicate and lovely colors. This flower grows more popular 
each year, and it well deserves the partiality shown it.
