Tithonia Speciosa Grandiflora Fireball (New) AF 
Dazzling as a ball of fire poised high above other flowers. 
Fireball is, undoubtedly, the last word in brilliance of color in 
a fall blooming plant. Many who have known and enjoj^ed 
Tithonia Speciosa have considered it the brightest possible 
flower for fall use. With the introduction, however, of Fire¬ 
ball, this older variety is entirely overshadowed. Fireball is a 
very brilliant, vibrant shade of scarlet orange, the petals in 
dazzling contrast to the clear yellow center. The gaily colored 
flowers are single, very large, 4% to 5 inches in diameter, and 
are carried on fine long stems. The plants are very tall, some 
reaching a height of 8 or 9 feet, with a fairly heavy growth 
of grayish green, woolly foliage. Pkt. 15c. 
NEW MINIATURE PETUNIA . Brilliant Rose 
Last season we introduced Miniature Rose Gem. Sales were 
far greater than our expectations and it has been received with 
favor wherever grown. We now take pleasure in introducin.g; 
another pretty fairy like Miniature Petunia. Brilliant Rose 
tJem is a vei-y rich, deep rose with a slight suffusion of scarlet. 
The general effect is very brilliant and pretty. 
We recommend Brilliant Rose Gem for those who want a 
strong color. One that will withstand the utmost in hot strong 
sunlight. The i)lant is neat and compact to G inches high, 
literally smothered with blooms about 2 inches in diameter, 
j. Brilliant Rose Gem must ever remain a favorite variety, not- 
^withstanding the love we have for a novelty, Pkt. 25c.

tall, bloom early, profusely and continuously until frost. 
Lovely in the gaiden; wonderful for cutting. Pkt. 15c. 
Nierembergia Hippomanica, P (Dwarf Cup Flower) 
(Dodger) 
With the possible exception of Zinnia Linearis, Nierembergia 
Hippomanica will outbloom any flower we have grown. It 
starts flowering when the plants are only about 2 inches tall, 
that is about 15 weeks after the seed is sown, and keeps on up 
until heavy frosts of late fall. It is at all times neat and tidy 
looking, the young flowers coming and covering older flowers 
and seed pods. The lovely lavender blue shade, heightened 
by a touch of yellow in the center, is most charming. Plants 
are definitely dwarf, compact—streamlined, if you will—and 
not ovei- 5 or G inches tail, and with a spread of only S to 10 
inches. Foliage is light gray green, very inconspic-uous, and 
there are literally dozens of flowers in bloom at a time 
throughout the summer. .As an edging plant, for a border 
along a walk, or to outline beds of larger flowers, it has no 
er(ual, while for use in the roeker\- it is uiu*xeelled and is 
extremely lovely in a window box or in flowei' i)ots. It is a 
half hardy perennial which will winter over if given some 
protection. Pkt. .S5c.
