California is unrivaled for the 
beauty of its wild flowers, but not 
many people realize that many of 
these flowers are perfectly hardy 
and can be grown successfully al- 
most anywhere. You need have no 
fear of success with them, for the 
hardiness of the varieties we list 
has been well proven in even the 

coldest parts of this country. For 
hardiness depends on the hardiness 
of the variety, and not where it is 
grown.

in every shaded spot in the garden, preferably mod- 
erately moist and woody, where they will become per- 
manently established. They flower in mid-February 
to April on the west coast, and early in April in the 
Fast.
