TITHONIA 
Mexican Sunflower—Planting time, March to June 
This native annual of Mexico is one of the most useful 
late fall flowers we have, growing to a height of 6 to 10 
feet, of free branching habit and is covered with orange- 
scarlet flowers until cut down by extreme frost. As a 
cut flower this flower will be highly prized for decorative 
purposes. In warmer districts where the season is long, 
sow where the plants are to remain, after the ground 
becomes warm. In colder climates sow earlier under 
protection, and set the plants out after frosts are past.
