Giant Crested Howard 
GIANT CRESTED HOWARD—While this zinnia 
does not come 100 per cent true to form, there is 
a large percentage of lovely crested flowers. 
The flowers are mostly in yellow, orange, rose, 
and crimson shades in mixture. The flowers are 
about 4 inches across with a high crest, sur- 
rounded by broad guard petals. They are very 
striking. Pkt. 20c; Ye oz. 50c.

and in a wonderful range of bright and pastel 
shades. Splendid for mass effect and for cut- 
ting. Mixture. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 50c. 
THUNBERGIA (Black-eyed Susan) 
ALATA—A tender annual trailing plant, grow- 
ing about 4 feet long and valuable for low 
fences or hanging baskets. Prefers a sunny 
situation. Blossoms are buff, orange or white, 
with dark center. Mixed. Pkt. 10c; Ye oz. 40c. 
TIGRIDIA (Shell Flower) 
HALLAWELL’S HYBRIDS—A half hardy bulb- 
ous plant, of the Iris species. Three bold petals 
in rich tropical shades of scarlet, rose, yellow, 
orange, or white, encircling a curiously spotted 
cup. The flowers bloom brilliantly for only a 
day, but each day there is a succession of 
blooms, lasting throughout the summer. They 
are easily grown from seeds sown in the spring. 
Be patient, for they require three or four weeks 
to germinate. Start in flats and transplant, keep- 
ing them well watered during the growing sea- 
son. Pkicoc: 
TITHONIA (Mexican Sunflower) 
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 cli- 
mates sow earlier under protection, and set the 
plants out after frosts are past.

mer or fall will bloom the first season.
