Sunflower 
Too well known to need description here, the Sun¬ 
flower has an important place in background and screen 
planting. To the old common varieties have been added 
many new and attractive sorts having double blooms 
and silvery or variegated foliage. The blooms differ in 
color, some being red and yellow, and dthers varying 
shades of yellow. Height 3 to 5 feet. 
Verbena 
These well known annuals have long been popular 
because of their hardiness, profuse growth, and free- 
blooming qualities. A single plant, in rich soil, will 
often carpet a space 3 to 4 feet in diameter. They are 
particularly fine for window boxes, borders, beds, 
mounds and the like. Plants grown from seed are 
less expensive, produce more flowers, and are more 
vigorous than those grown from cuttings. For early 
spring bloom, sow in February under glass, for later 
flowers sow in March and April. Transplant to other 
boxes when about an inch high, setting out in May, 
10 to 15 inches apart each way. The blooms are pro¬ 
duced in profusion from early summer until frost, and 
vary in color from pure white to bright blue, scarlet 
and yellow. 
Zinnia 
One of the most easily grown of all the hardy an¬ 
nuals, and few equal it in profusion and continuity of 
bloom. Seed sown early in spring will produce plants 
1 to 2J/? feet in height, covered all season with large, 
double flowers in every color except blue. 
Verbena.
