              QUALITY SEEDS AND BULBS—"THEY COME UP SMILING"
Eschscholtzia, Carmine King
ESCHSCHOLTZIA
(California Poppy)
The state flower of California. This much-
esteemed hardy annual is very bright and rich
in its pure tints of yellow, orange, etc. The plants
average about a foot in height, with silvery
foliage, and produce their large, poppy-like flowers
from early spring until frost. They are most
effective when grown in beds of considerable size,
over which the seed may be sown broadcast
thinly, and lightly raked in. These sowings may
be made early in spring or late in autumn for
earlier germination, blooming the next spring.
Useful as a pot-plant and for cut-flowers. If
cut early in the morning before the buds unfold
the flowers will last for several days in water.
