NEW HARDY RED SUNFLOWER. 



This sensational novelty was produced by crossing the hardy Sunflower. Helianthus 

 Multiflorus, with an Echinacea. The plant in leaf and habit resembles the Helianthus; it grows 

 5 to 6 feet high and is very floriferous — each plant when established bearing during the season 

 from 20 to 30 gigantic flowers, bright red on the face, contrasting vividly with the yellow 

 centre; the reverse of the flower is sometimes tinged with the Helianthus yellow. The first 

 flowers are produced in June or early July and measure up to 8 and 9 inches across; those 

 borne in August and September average 6 inches and the later ones come only 4 to 5 inches 

 across. The flowers have remarkable lasting qualities, retaining their full beauty on the plant 

 for 2 to 3 weeks. This gigantic red Sunflower will be of great value for the hardy garden and 

 herbaceous border, supplying a color much needed in summer and fall flowering hardy plants. 

 It is of scarcely less importance as a decorative cut flower and may be cut with stems 18 to 

 24 inches long. Plants from seeds sown early in the spring may flower a little towards fall, 

 but it is not until the second year and thereafter that full perfection can be expected. 60 

 to 70 per cent, come true from seed. (See cut ) Pkt. 25c.
