ESCHSCHOLTZIA 
(California Poppy) 
The state flower of California. This much- 
esteemed hardy annual is very bright and rich 
in its pure tints of yellow, orange, etc. The plants 
average about a foot in height, with silvery 
foliage, and produce their large, poppy-like flowers 
from early spring until frost. They are most 
effective when grown in beds of considerable size, 
over which the seed may be sown broadcast 
thinly, and lightly raked in. These sowings may 
be made early in spring or late in autumn for 
earlier germination, blooming the next spring. 
Useful as a pot-plant and for cut-flowers. If 
cut early in the morning before the buds unfold 
the flowers will last for several days in water.
