not like ours. Wherever found, they
add much to the landscape and they
have commercial value, too.
Sunflowers belong TO the great
composite family. So do many other
plants you are familiar with, includ-
ing the asters, goldenrods and black
eyed Susans. They were among the
first to demonstrate the Importance
of advertising. AS you know, the
head of the sunf1ower is a packed
mass of florets. How else would the
cruising insects find the nectar cup
if thousands of them were not
grouped closely together to form a
splash of color? The rays, wrongly
called petals. also attract attention
and thus the flower is sure to have
many valuable callers who will sip
nectar and take away cargo of
pollen as well as leave some of the
precious golden dust with each
hostess. This plan of the composite
family is one of the most successful
yet devised by the plant group and
it has been adopted by about one
tenth of the Towering plants of the
world. Why is it so ideal as busi-
ness proposition? Cooperation.
What, you ask, has the sunfiower
that gives it commercial impor-
tance? A question that seems to be
applied to almost every thing today.
A most excellent clear Oil is made
from the seeds and these same seeds
are very nutritious for fattening and
feeding poultry, horses and other
stock. Further, its under tender
leaves are good fodder.
In China, the fiber of this plant
is used as an adulterant for silk.
In Russia, the seeds are enjoyed as
we do peanuts and the oil is much
used in cooking and for other pur-
poses, such as making soap and
candles.
In rich soil, the sunfower shows
its complete appreciation by attain
ing a height of 10 to Is feet and
producing f1ower-head foot
across. Where it must use the soil
of the prairies to take the hot winds
in their stride, the sunf1ower
develops a rough stem about or 8
feet high, branching at the top and
having leaves 3 inches to u in
length.
The large. bright, yellow sterile
rays are attention getters; the disk
f1orets are tubular. e-lobed. dark
purple or brown, perfect and fertile.
The seed-time is from August to
