CALIFORNIA POPPIES 
in gorgeous Sunset Rainbow Shades 
When the first Padres came into California they found 
dainty cups of gold growing, over the mountainsides and 
through the valleys. The common wild variety (Eschscholt- 
zia aurantiaca) is a native of several western states and 
the State fiower of California. The new California poppy 
is much improved with a remarkable color range and 
with larger and better flowers. Our sun ripened seed rep- 
resent this vastly improved strain and are easily grown 
and practically free from pests. They are perfectly hardy 
in the eastern states; we have known them to self-seed 
for five years as far north as Massachusetts. For cut flow- 
ers cut the blossoms or large buds in the morning.
