Tithonia Giant Fireball 
Dazzling as a ball of fire poised high above 
other flowers, Fireball is, undoubtedly, the 
last word in brilliance of colon in a fall bloom- 
ing plant. Many who have known Tithonia 
Speciosa have considered it the brightest pos- 
sible flower for fall use. With the introduc- 
tion, however, of Fireball, this older variety 
is entirely overshadowed. Fireball is a very 
brilliant shade of scarlet orange, the petals in 
dazzling contrast to the clear yellow center. 
Flowers 4% to 5 inches in diameter, on fine 
long stems. Plants. often reach a height of 
8 or 9 feet and neat in appearance. Extremely
