HELIANTHUS 
(Sunflower) 
Hardy annuals, of stately 
growth, remarkable for the 
size and brilliancy of their 
flowers. Very useful as cut 
flowers. Effective in forming 
background of large beds or 
borders and for distant 
effect. 
1765 — Chrysanthemum 
Flowered—Perfectly double; 
the color is the brightest 
golden yellow. The flowers 
are so perfect in form that 
they resemble very much 
double Chrysanthemum-

stems; grows seven feet high, and bears profusely all 
summer long. Pkt. 10c. 
1767— Miniature-Flowered Sunflowers—The varieties 
of Helianthus cucumerifolius form spreading bushes 
with small graceful foliage and bear a multitude of 
small elegantly formed flowers, which are borne for a 
long time in succession, and are invaluable as cut 
flowers. Pkt. 10c. 
HELIANTHUS—SUNFLOWER 
1768— Alfred M. Landon (New)—Height 6 feet.— 
This new sunflower is the last word in its species. De¬ 
veloped by Walter Sharp of Portland, Oregon, after 
10 years of selective breeding it is now ready to take 
its place as the king of the sunflower world. Flowers 
double with few small outer petals and the center 
filled with narrow fine petals, the color is bright 
golden yellow. This new hybrid sunflower was named 
with the permission of Mr. Landon and is only to be 
had at Butzer’s. Pkt. 25c.

Sunlite is a double flowered poppy which is dif¬

outside, rather than the inside of the tulip shaped 
flowers, giving the impression of being open, even 
after the cuplike blossoms have closed for the night 
The flowers are a bright canary yellow, and the 
foliage of the two-foot bush is a light gray-green.

and flower freely in late summer. Pkt 10c.
