Your Hope for Good Gardens Is Well Founded 
Tithonia speciosa 
Golden Flower 
of the Incas 
A shrub-like plant, about 
8 feet tall, in habit of growth 
much like a dahlia. The 
orange-colored flowers are 
very large, 3 to 4 inches in 
diameter, resemble the 
blooms of African marigolds 
or some of the daisies, and are 
carried on strong stems, often 
a yard long. Tithonia is 
superb as a background in 
the flower garden and for 
placing among shrubs, where 
the brilliant blooms appear 
in their glory. The seed we 
offer is from the new, early- 
flowering strain. Pkg. 15c. 
Thousands of Blooms 
from a Package of Seed 
Last year I bought a fifteen-cent 
package of the Golden Gleam 
Nasturtium seeds. When the 
plants bloomed I picked by actual 
count 36 bunches of flowers, 24 
flowers to a bunch, and do not 
know how many my neighbor 
picked while we were on our vaca¬ 
tion. Hope I and my friends, whom 
I am buying seeds for this year, 
have equally good luck.—P. L. P.,

Salpiglossis 
Painted Tongue 
These splendid garden an¬ 
nuals are pictured in color on 
the third cover of this 
Catalogue, but the illustra¬ 
tion cannot possibly show the 
many marvelous markings, 
shades, and stripings. The 
color-range includes blue, pur¬ 
ple, yellow, primrose, crim¬ 
son, white, overlaid with 
gold and silver. Seed germi¬ 
nates quickly, plants grow 
rapidly in light soil, and 
flower freely all summer long. 
Salpiglossis ought to be better 
known, and if you try Hart 
& Vick’s Finest Mixture you 
are likely to become an 
ardent admirer. Pkg. 10c; 
Yg oz. 25c; *4 oz. 40c. 
Flower Seeds for an 
Unusual Wild Garden 
A special mixture of easy-to-grow 
annuals that will give a brilliant color 
effect with almost no care. Many of the 
flowers are natives of the West Coast; 
others are the old-time familiar sorts; but 
all are interesting and many are little 
known. Seed may be sown broadcast, and 
the mixture is peculiarly adapted to wide 
borders, to fence-corners, and similar 
places; in fact, it will be at home in any 
place that needs bright colors. Large pkg. 
10c; oz. 25c; Y\ lb. 75c; lb. $2.50.
