NEW HARDY RED SUNFLOWER. 
.1 V? 18 , sensational novelty was produced by crossing the hardy Sunflower, Helian- 
thus Multmorus, with an Echinacea. It grows 5 to G feet high and when established 
bears during the season from 20 to 30 gigantic flowers f> to 8 inches across, bright red 
on the face contrasting vividly with the yellow centre. The flowers retain their full 
beauty on the plant for 2 to 3 weeks. This gigantic red Sunflower will be of great value 
for the hardy garden and herbaceous border, is of scarcely less importance as a decora¬ 
tive cut flower and may be cut with stems 18 to 24 inches long. Plants from seeds 
sown early in the spring may flower a little towards fall, but it is not until the second 
year and thereafter that full perfection can be expected. 60 to 70 per cent, come true 
from seed. PkL 2 5c. 
GIANT IMPERIAL SWEET SULTAN 'iNlPER^ALIST 
These new varieties of the old Sweet Sultan are grand improvements, producing 
long-stemmed blossoms 3 to 4 inches across, of graceful, airy effect, and most deliciously 
fragrant. The colors are varied from glistening white through shades of red, from 
flesh-pink to crimson and through blues from silvery-lilac to royal-purple, some of them 
having centres of some distinct color, as violet with white centre, etc.; for bouquets, 
vases, or as corsage flowers they are of exceptional value. If cut scarcely opened they 
will last for ten days in water. The plants are of the easiest culture, flowering freely 
in the garden the first summer from seed sown in the spring. They are of strong, bushy 
form, 2 to 3 feet high. (See cut.)
