Plant Freely the New Headliner for 1941 Season 
Tithonia Speciosa Grandiflora Fireball 
2418 Tithonia Fireball—Dazzling as living flame of Fire 
poised high above other flowers, the last word in brilliance 
of color in a fall blooming plant. Fireball is a very brilliant, 
vibrant shade of scarlet orange, the petals in dazzling con- 
trast to the clear yellow center. The gaily colored flowers 
are single, very large, 444 to 5 inches in diameter, and are 
carried on fine long stems. The plants are very tall, reach- 
ing a height of 8 or 9 feet, with fairly heavy growth of 
wooly, grayish green foliage. Neat in appearance and do 
not become ragged looking. Plant as early in the spring as 
weather conditions will allow. In the higher altitudes start 
indoors and set out plants after danger of frost. Extremely 
showy in the garden and an excellent cut flower. Flowers 
keep five or six days when cut. PLANT FREELY THIS
