Tithonia • Mexican Sunflower Culture 3 
Speciosa. This interesting annual forms extraordinarily hand¬ 
some but huge plants over 6 feet high and 3 feet through, 
with curiously cut, fig-leaf foliage. From seed started in a 
coldframe in April, the plants should bear full bloom August 
1, or if sown in the open ground in May, should be ablaze 
with color by September 1. The blooms, exactly like gigan¬ 
tic French marigolds, 3 to 4 inches across, are orange- 
vermilion and are carried erect on very long, stout stems. 
The tall, bushy plants, when covered with these brilliantly 
beautiful flowers, are exceedingly gorgeous. Pkt. 15 cts.

Tagetes • Marigold Culture 2 
Little Orange Giant (Signata pumila). Too few gardeners 
know of the real garden value in this easily grown annual 
which adds such a brilliance of color over such a long flower¬ 
ing period. For margins or edging its compact habit of 
growth is ideal. Little Orange Giant is the highest develop¬ 
ment yet attained in a neat, dwarf, really compact strain 
of Signata Pumila. It is very dainty with slender, fern-like 
foliage and an abundance of gay, single, deep orange flowers 
on plants which are only 4 to 6 inches high with a spread 
of 8 to 10 inches. Those who are looking for a brilliant 
color for edging, to give contrast in planned borders, will 
appreciate the usefulness of this neat, dwarf, really com¬ 
pact Little Orange Giant. Pkt. 15 cts.; ^oz. 50 cts.

it will bloom in August. Ht. lp£ ft. Pkt. 15 cts.
