Esehseholtzia “Golden West.” 
Eschscholtzias are among our most beautiful and 
popular annuals, being of the easiest culture and giving 
great satisfaction. From spring-sown seeds they flower 
profusely until late in the autumn, making tnem in¬ 
valuable for bedding. The flowers of these new giants 
are of immense size, from 4 to 6 inches in diameter. They 
are beautifully and variously formed; some are flat and 
wide, some saucer-shaped, others very deep with flaring 
wavy edges. These magnificent flowers call forth the 
most enthusiastic admiration from beholders; the colors 
are intense and shining yellows. In some an orange 
blotch almost suffuses the whole flower, in others it runs 
into the yellow in fine penciled lines, others again have 
an orange centre with a margin of clear yellow. (See cut.)

“ The Golden West Poppies have been a great success — 
the flowers were so large and numerous that the bed resemble8 
a sheet of gold, and is the wonder and admiration of many 
people.''

GIflf 4 T HARDV HVBRID 
GAIULiApDIAS. 
The flowers are extraordinarily large, often 4 to 5 
inches across, and very highly colored in great diversity 
of variations and blendings, including such combinations 
as dazzling scarlet with gold edge, blood-crimson with 
yellow edge, yellow with orange disk, golden with scarlet 
border, pure yellow, fiery crimson and many others. 
These magnificent Gaillardias are hardy perennials, less 
coarse and more compact in growth than the older kinds 
and they produce a constant succession of flowers all 
summer and fall; when grown in large groups they are 
gorgeously effective. As cut flowers they are almost 
unrivaled; the immense and brilliant flowers, on long, 
self-supporting stems, “ vase ” handsomely, and they 
last in water for days.

These “Hardy Asters” are splendid subjects for permanent 
positions in the herbaceous border, where they form large 
bushy clumps, 1V6 to 2 feet high, and are covered with clusters 
of large single flowers during the late summer months, forming 
one of the charms of the autumn garden.

These showy annual climbers grow luxuriantly about 10 feet 
high, branching out well from the bottom, and are clothed 
with flense foliage, insect-proof. They form excellent screens 
as well as being exceedingly ornamental. The sweet-pea-like 
blossoms are borne in long, Wistaria-like clusters, often a foot 
in length. (See cut.) 
Giant Crimson Dolichos. Flowers at first blush deepening 
with age to dark red, followed by bronzy-purple seed

A unique novelty. The plant grows in compact bush form 
only 10 inches high; surmounted by stiff upright spikes 10 
to 15 inches long, carrying large white pea-shaped flowers 
which are followed by silvery seed pods. It is of very easy 
culture, flowering long and continuously the first season from 
seed, and is an attractive addition to our garden annuals.
