TITHONIA (Mexican Sunflower) [tP-6 ft.] When seed is started in- 

 doors, this plant makes a brilliant showing about August 15 of the 

 first year in the northern states. In mild climates it is perennial and 

 can be planted outdoors spring or fall. The flowers of vivid orange- 

 scarlet are like huge French Marigolds 3 or 4 inches across. The 

 leaves have an odd appearance as though they had been cut into 

 irregular patterns with scissors.

Transvaal Daisy (See Gerbera) 



VALERIANA (Garden Heliotrope) [hP-2 ft.] The silvery green foli- 

 age of this hardy plant spreads considerably, and its numerous 

 stalks carry feathery clusters of tiny sweet scented florets. Since it 

 needs little care, it is useful in spots like a rocky bank that receives 

 scant attention and yet should have decoration.

VINCA ROSEA (Periwinkle) [tP-15 in.] Every year this plant from 

 the Island of Madagascar increases in popularity because of its 

 glossy dark green foliage and profusion of flowers. The blossoms 

 are somewhat like those of Phlox, but they are larger and are not 

 borne in clusters. The plants are entirely free from insects. InTmild 

 climates they are long season bloomers; in colder sections they may 

 be treated as annuals for late summer and autumn bloom, by 

 starting the plants indoors and setting them out later when the 

 weather is warm. 



The plants are good for potting as well as for use in the border 

 and garden. The foliage is attractive even when the plant is not in 

 bloom. 



Pure White Blossoms entirely white.

Rosea Alba White with rose center.
