A mutation of sunflower and dahlia. 
Tested and grown successfully for more 
than 10 years, this new plant introduction 
outdoes the rainbow for color. Briefly, 
here are a few describable colors and com- 
binations: 
Bronze center with base of petal 
a deep bronze shading to the light- 
est of pale brown tints; wine red 
center and petals tipped with cream; 
all wine red flowers that twinkle in 
reflected light; shades of gold of 
every imaginable tint, golden tips 
and cream tips; tissue paper white 
and definite differing shades to deep 
ivory with beautifully colored cen- 
ters; orange, light, medium, and 
deep rust to red, variegated 
flowers that capture every recogniz- 
able color shade; yes, some are so 
nearly black that they may be termed 
black, cream with light pink petal 
tips; yellow to deep yellow; magenta, 
and other tones of regular sunflower 
shades. 
The size and varieties are numerous. 
Classified as singles are those whose large

outer petals range from 2 to 3 inches in 
length; singles with crested centers and 
with plain “‘sunflower’’ centers; singles 
with curled outer petals, sword straight 
inner petals and pincushion centers. 
Doubles are heavily formed, perfectly 
round. Short, wide outer petals and with 
seed center covered with miniature petals; 
others, a ring of broad base petals con- 
trasting with fine seed petal covering. 
Shaggy types run from rugged individ- 
ual flowers to ball-like centers covered 
with quill petals in turn surrounded with 
wide, generous size outer fringe of petals. 
The average size of flowers, over all the 
shapes, range from 5 to 8 inches in diam- 
eter. 
SUMMATION: Doubles, semi-doubles, 
crested and semi-crested; singles and 
semi-singles with large and with small 
petals, the dahlia ‘’family’’ characteristics 
are clearly seen, but on a sunflower stalk. 
Cultural directions are brief and so 
very easy that SUN-DAL promises to be- 
come a most popular flower endowed with 
a multitude of uses. Being resistant to

light frosts but not withstanding heavy 
frost, the seeds are generally in flower 60 
days after planting. Tests have shown that 
these are easily forced and greenhouse 
experiments have produced profuse flow- 
ering plants in the late winter and early 
spring, while the sunflower habit of late 
summer or early fall bloom continues to 
rule the normal garden plantings. Ordi- 
nary cultivation, irrigation and qarden 
care are the requirements. 
These bud profusely, larger blossoms 
usually forming first; debudding helps 
prolong the period of bloom. Many blooms, 
smaller of course, may be secured by 
letting plant flower without removing 
buds. 
As a cut flower, these excel, lasting 
from 12 to 14 days with ordinary care. 
Florists have shown a remarkable accept- 
ance for many uses as well as ‘‘straight’’ 
bouquets. These flowers have proven of a 
universal compliance with nearly every 
type arrangement and for most all occa- 
sions from a professional viewpoint, For 
home they are splendid as background 
and for exotic cut flowers.
