California Poppies in Sunset Rainbow Shades 
Eschscholtzia—California Poppies 
When the Padres came into California they found dainty cups of gold growing over the mountainsides and through the valleys. 
The common wild variety is a native of several western states and the State flower of California. But the new California poppies 
are much improved, in that we now have a remarkable color range with larger and better flowers. Our sun ripened seed represent 
this vastly improved strain. California Popples are easily grown and practically free from garden pests. They are perfectly hardy 
in the eastern states; we have known them to self-seed for five years as far north as Massachusetts. Few people know the trick of 
keeping them as cut flowers; merely cut the flowers or large buds in the early morning before they open.
