"Cut and Come Again" Sunflowers. 



{Heliaathus Cucumerifolius—new types.) 



These improved profuse-flowering, branciiing Sunflowers are 

 ■popular, not only for garden display, but for cut flowers. The 

 plants form hushes 3 to 4 feet high, bearing a continuous succession 

 of flowers from June until frost. The perfectly formed single or 

 double flowers, 3 to 4 inches across, are poised on long, graceful 

 stems, which "vase" beautifully. They are easily grown, com- 

 mencing to flower in a few weeks from seed. {See cut.)

"CDT AND COME AGAIN*' SUNFLOWER. 



NEW HARDY RED SUNFLOWER. 



This sensational novelty was produced by crossing the hardy Stmflower, Helian- 

 thus Multiflorus, with an Echinacea. It grows 5 to 6 feet high and when established 

 bears during the season from 20 to 30 gigantic flowers 5 to 8 inches across, bright red 

 on the face, contrasting vividly with the yellow centre. The flowers retain their fuU 

 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, is of scarcely less importance as a decora- 

 tive 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 untQ the second 

 year and thereafter that fuU perfection can be expected. 60 to 70 per cent, come true 

 from seed Pkt. 25c. 



GIANT IMPERIAL SWEET SULTAN SS15 



These new varieties of the old Sweet Sultan are grand improvements, pr9ducing 

 long-stemmed blossoms 3 to 4 inches across, of graceful, airy effect, and most deliciously 

 fragrant. The colors are varied from glistening white through shades of red, from 

 flesh-pink to crimson and through blues from silvery-lilac to royal-purple, some of them 

 having centres of some distinct color, as violet with white centre, etc.; for bouquets, 

 vases, or as corsage flowers they are of exceptional value. If cut scarcelj' opened they 

 will last for ten days in water.' The plants are of the easiest culture, flowering freely 

 in the garden the first summer from seed sovi^n in the spring. They are of strong, bushy 

 form. 2 to .3 feet high. (See cut.)
