Mrs. Carme Elam of Lawndale loves flowers and enjoys watching them develop into other than their usual colors. The sunflower is usually seen in yellow, but Mrs. Elam has produced them in a variety of colors.
She brought a handful to The Star office a few days ago—all of different colors—some rich red, some lemon and others a mixture of colors.
Mrs. Elam bought an assortment of seed from a well-known seed gardener some years ago and makes it a habit of saving seed from one year to the other. The collection she brought to The Star office shows the widest variety of colors The Star has ever seen in sunflowers.
