ESCHSCHOLTZIA 
(CALIFORNIA POPPIES) 
Hardy, easily grown, and sentimentally attractive as the state flower of Cali¬ 
fornia, the poppy is one of the most useful additions to a group of annuals. 
The gleaming golden wild poppy of the foothill has been taught to assume a 
number of varying shades, which add to the beauty of the native flower and its 
feathery foliage. They seem to reflect the brightness of the Spring. 
ESCHSCHOLTZIA CALIFORNICA, (Clear Yellow.) — These grow in masses along our foot hills, 
and are the especial delight of the tourist in early spring. 
CRIMSON FLOWERING, (Burbank’s).—This variety we have no doubt will come to many quite 
new and we highly recommend it. 
GOLDEN WEST. Very large flowers of a light canary yellow with an orange blotch at the base 
of each petal, forming a Maltese Cross in the center of the flower. 
ROSE CARDINAL.—This is a most delicately colored flower, the outside of the petals being 
touched with a beautiful shade of pink. 
WHITE AND CARMINE, ORANGE, MANDARIN, WHITE WITH YELLOW CENTER. All are 
singularly attractive.

CASAD’S IMPROVED MUSKMELON 
Mr. Casad in his 
Melon Patch 
Last season we introduced to a limited number of our customers this distinctly new musk- 
melon grown by R. C. Casad, of Covina, Cal. Never doubting for a moment the immediate 
success of the novelty we induced Mr. Casad to further perfect his selection, with the result 
that we unhesitatingly offer the Casad’s Improved Special as among the few best melox. s ever 
produced. From the color of the medium-netted rind, a buff 
yellow, with its spicy aroma, to the thick, luscious, smooth flesh 
approaching a pineapple flavor, it is most tempting. 
This melon is a prolific producer and runs very even in size. 
Few new varieties in past years have shown so many points of 
superiority, or so distinct a character. There is no doubt but 
that the melon will prove a still greater favorite, and, that as 
many of our customers as possible may enjoy it, we have decided 
to sell no more than one- 
quarter pound of the limited 
supply of seed to any one 
person. The price will be, 
as long as stock lasts, 25c per 
packet, 50c per ounce 
$1.50 per 1-4 pound.
