nia Poppy Mixture". Here is a combination of the 
pure orange, yellow and orange, and cream poppies.

spreading plants, plenty of fresh green decorative 
foliage and an abundance of brilliant flowers, makes 
a lovely effect along a drive or sidewalk or on a 
sunny bank. Pkt. 10c, oz. 25c, lb. $2.50. 
ESCHSCHOLTZIA CALIFORNICA var. HYBRIDA. 
"Hybrid California Poppies". For many years the 
horticulturalists have been at work on our California 
Poppies and they have developed some wonderfully 
beautiful colorings. Sow these hybrids in groups 
near the house or in your flower borders, where you 
can easily see their lovely hues of pink, copper, 
salmon, and scarlet. They need no more care than 
the sturdier-stemmed wild Poppies. Pkt. 10c, oz. '75c.
