, Most Sunflowers being of coarse growth are not suited for beds or ornamental locations near the house, but are 
very desirable for growing in shrubberies, against fences, or making backgrounds for, and mixing in borders. They do 
well in any kind of land, from light sandy to swampy ; they, however, do not grow to perfection if heavily shaded. Seeds 
may be sown where the plants are wanted, or indoors in March and April, and transplanted when weather is suitable. 
Argophyllus has beautiful silvery foliage. Californicus , large double orange colored flowers. Ciicumerifolius is of 
branching habit and covered with small dark centred flowers. Early Double Flowered produces flowers from July 
until frost. Folia aurea variegata and nana variegata have beautiful yellow splashed foliage. The multijlorus are 
showy perennial varieties. Golden Bouquet and Stella are particularly desirable on acount of their early blooming 
qualities. Lenticularis of graceful branching habit.

Breck’s Defiance is without exception the finest strain of large Double Zinnias offered. The plants are of vigor¬ 
ous branching habit and produce freely immense double flowers in an endless variety of splendid colors; not the 
old hard red, but innumerable delicate and velvety shades. The separate colors are saved from the same collection, 
which is admitted to be the finest in Europe. Seed sown early in heat will begin to bloom in June and continue 
until frost, or seed may be sown outdoors where the plants are intended to bloom.
