CALIFORNIA POPPY 
Grandiflora Hybrid 

GIANT IMPERIAL STOCK 
ZINNIA LINEARIS 
POPPIES, Papaver 
Poppies have long been favorite garden flowers for their 
delicacy, as well as the simplicity of the buds and neatness of 
the foliage. The pure colors and fine texture of the petals 
make a good showing in the garden. All are easily raised from 
seed which should be sown where the plants are to remain, 
later thinning out the plants. In the North, sow in the open 
ground as early as possible in the spring; in California, sow 
from October to March. 
SHIRLEY (a). The most charming Poppy for the garden. The 
plants, with their deeply cut foliage, slender, hairy stems and 
silky petalled blossoms, often fluted, present an airy picture 
as they nod in the breeze. Height, 18 inches. Fkt. 10ce. 
Sweet Brier (Double Annual Shirley). Full, double begonia-like 
flowers of a beautiful deep rose pink. One of the finest strains 
of double Shirleys for the garden. Pkt. 10e.
