who are fortunate enough to live in

CALIFORNIA POPPY.

The eschscholtzia is the State fiow-
Or of California, and an annual Of
striking character both as regards the
form and color Of its flowers, which
are bright and rich in their tints Of
yellow and orange. The plants aver
age about a foot in height, have at
tractive silvery foliage, and produce
their large poppy-llke flowers quite
lsyishly from early spring until frost.
They are most effective when grown
M beds Of considerable size, over
which the seed may be thinly sown
broadcast and lightly raked in. These
sowings may be made early in spring,
or late in autumn for earlier germina-
ton and bloom the next spring. The
eschscholtzia is also very useful as a
pot plant and for cut fiowers.-In-

GARpENING FoR CHILDREN.

GARDENING FOR CHILDREN.
Perhaps other readers, who live in
large cities, have found it difficult to
keep the children in their small yards
and still amuse them in the summer
I'VE tried the following plan and
found It successful:
We divided the garden beds, giving
each Of the children a bed OF his own.
Each was given seed to plant. These
they we're to watch and tend careful
ly, for in the fall we were to have a
flower show just for the family The
one who had the prettiest flower bed
was to receive a prize.
You have no idea how the children
worked for this. It would have been
difficult to tell who worked the hard
est, wedding, watering, tying up, cut
ting down, etc. And It instilled in
them an interest in and love for fow-
ers which will never die.-Harper's
