[printed paragraph] Picking poppies, "Mt. Baldy" in the distance, California
An interesting and beautiful sight, when the poppies are in bloom. Acres and acres will be a mass of this golden yellow. The Poppy is the State Flower of California, and is a different variety from that which they get opium.
