Eschscholtzia 
Erecta Golden Rod 
This new Eschscholtzia is the result of several years’ hybridization and 
selection to obtain a compact, erect growing, large-flowered variety which 
carried its blooms well above the foliage. Golden Rod has all these 
characteristics. 
The flowers are very large, nearly 4 in. across, and perfect in form. 
The bright golden orange color is carried evenly over the entire flower, 
whose beauty is enhanced by a brilliant metallic sheen. 
The compact plants are of uniformly erect habit, about 18 in. tall, with 
attractive bluish green foliage above which the showy flowers are freely 
produced over a long period. It begins to bloom early in the season, and 
where summers are not too hot will continue to flower until frost. 
Burpee’s erecta Golden Rod fills a long-felt want for a dwarf, erect 
Eschscholtzia for edgings, borders and rock gardens. Golden Rod is 
one of the finest of all California Poppies. Oz. 50^; lb. $6.00.
