GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA 
"The world's best doubles'’—2¥2-3 feet. 
The varieties in this class comprise a mag- 
nificent group, and so marked an improve- 
ment over the above Giant Imperial class

enlarged flowers in comparison to the above

purposes. This class justifies our unreserved 
recommendation.

TITHONIA (p) 
Mexican Sunflower 
Golden Flowers of the Incas. 5-7 ft. Since 
its introduction from Mexico, this flower has 
captivated California gardeners. The ex- 
treme vigorous growth and prolific blossom 
habit make it a “real find’ for the fall gar- 
den when floral material is becoming scarce. 
Location: full sun. Stake plants to prevent 
blowing over. Sow seed direct; does not 
transplant well. Use: tall growing and 
branching, therefore useful for screening, 
against fences and buildings, and back- 
ground of borders. Blooms lavishly in fall 
and, hence, invaluable for this sparse gar- 
den season.
