736 WICHELS-1964-796 eng Wichels, Ernest Golden Poppies Apr 19, 1964 Local gardens as well as the countryside are ablaze these April days with our state flower-Eschscholtzia Californica. This golden poppy is deservedly the most celebrated and one of the more popular western flowers. Have you ever wondered why they seem most plentiful along the railway rights-of-way throughout California? Particularly along the railroads in Napa and Sonoma counties: between Sacramento and Auburn; and along the Southern Pacific tracks on the Coast route. vacahc@gmail.com 796 45675154213 Publication/Article CaVaHC http://www.solanoarticles.com/history/index.php/vhcdb/796/ Read Article http://www.solanohistory.net/articles/796/796.1.pdf PDF Document
