Tithonia

years ago when the first white man ar¬ 
rived. It makes a stately plant growing 
8 to 10 feet tall and in the Fall it is 
covered with lovely large bright orange- 
scarlet blooms having a high center.

Arctotis Hybrids 
Another of the lovely flowers which have 
come to us lately from Africa. The Hy¬ 
brids come in a brilliant assortment of 
showy daisy-like flowers predominating 
in orange and bronzy red shades, but 
also comprising many lovely shades of 
rose, cream, yellow and salmon. In the 
milder climates they may be classed as 
perennial but in the northern latitudes 
they are better treated as an annual. 
They flower within six months from seed, 
and bloom profusely through the hot 
Summer season. Mixed.

New Iceland Poppy 
Sanford’s Giant 
There are many strains of Nudicaule or 
Iceland Poppies but we recommend San¬ 
ford’s Giant as an outstanding strain. 
Flowers are large, well formed and come 
in a wide range of wonderful colors 
borne on long stiff stems which are fine 
for cutting. These popples will bloom 
first year from Spring sown seeds and 
plants are hardy, flowering year after 
year if given some Winter protection. 
The color range is very Pleasing. Mixed.

Calendula —Golden Radio 
One of the most interesting types of 
Calendula and distinct from others, as 
the petals of the large, perfectly double 
flowers Instead of being flat are beauti¬ 
fully quilled forming an almost globular 
flower and unusually attractive in its 
bright golden-yellow color.
