Tithonia

years ago when the first white man ar¬ 
rived. It makes a stately plant growing 
8 to 10 feet tall and 2 to 4 feet across.

Baby’s Breath 
PACIFICA. This is a new rose-colored 
hardy perennial Baby’s Breath that is 
easy to grow and thrives in most any 
soil. The second year the seedlings make 
defise plants 3% to 4 feet high and are 
a veritable cloud of numerous tiny rose 
blooms on slender spreading panicles.

varieties have passed.

New Dahlia from Seed 
Orchid-Flowered or Star Fish 
This is an interesting novelty recently 
introduced from Europe. The petals are 
twisted in such a manner as to give them 
a star effect and while the colors in our 
special mixture are red, orange, canary- 
yellow and white, the petals are usually 
another color on the back, sometimes 
dotted and blotched, and whenever the 
flowers open their twisted petals in the 
various colors, they make a very pleas¬ 
ing effect. Plants are easily grown from 
seed and bloom in about 3 months.

Agapanthus 
The Blue Lily of the Nile 
One of the showiest plants you can grow 
for decoration on the lawn or in the 
garden during the summer. Plants should 
be kept in large tubs or pots for the best 
results, for it is not hardy in the North. 
This charming blue lily with its bright 
green foliage and large clusters of flow¬ 
ers on plants about 3 feet tall are very 
attractive and make a pleasing effect 
wherever grow’n. Start seed inside, set¬ 
ting plants out in tubs or large pots 
when weather is suitable. Growing in¬ 
structions on each packet.
