RELIABLE FLOWER SEEDS

Helianthus, Annual Sunflowers 



Remarkable for the stately growth, size and brilliancy of their 

 flowers, making a very good effect among shrubbery and for screens. 

 The annual sorts are indispensable for cutting. Sown in a sunny spot 

 in April or May they come into bloom early in summer, and keep up a 

 constant supply of flowers until cut down by frost.
