Eschscholtzia 
ESCHSCHOLTZIA • California Poppy 
A very interesting and popular annual, readily grown from seed sown outdoors in 
May in the spot where they are wanted and simply thinned out. The beautiful lace¬ 
like foliage covers the entire growth a foot high and has a silvery sheen. The cone- 
shaped poppy flowers appear on fairly long stems from June until frost without inter¬ 
ruption. If the flowers are cut early in the morning while they are closed-up buds, 
they will last fully two days in water. }4oz.
