HARDY AND PRETTY FLOWER
California Poppy Needs Little Care
and Furnishes a Magnificent
Mass of Color.

The California peoples, Escholt-
zias, furnish one Of the brightest
materials for beds of glowing yell
low among the ANNALS. This is
the state flower of California, where
it grows wild in great masses, max
ing golden sheets of color. 1t will
grow readily almost anywhere and
will even survive mild winters when
protected. 1t will grow in almost
any soil providing it has plenty of
sun.
Its gray-green foliage is ornamen-
tai and makes a fine foil for the
hundreds of golden cups it pro-
duces. While the type Of the flower
is yellow or orange there are cream
and rose-colored varieties equally
handsome and attractive.
This native of the golden West
has been taken in hand by plant
breeders and many beautiful new
varieties have been introduced 1t
should be sown where it is to bloom
as, like most of the poppy family, it
objects to being transplanted. The
seed is coarser than that of most of
the peoples and its even distribu-
ton is not so difficult.
