OTHER FLOWERS 



MARIGOLD 



The Dwarf French mari- 

 gold is one of the best 

 garden flowers for children. 

 It is hardy and sure to 

 bloom. 



It may be used for a 

 border, or it will make a 

 beautiful mass of color in 

 the center of a flower bed. 



You may sow the seeds in 

 flats indoors early in March 

 and transplant the young 

 plants ; or you may sow the 

 seeds outdoors early in the 

 spring. Cover the seeds to 

 the depth of about i inch. The plants should be thinned 

 to about 12 inches apart. The African marigold is also 

 a most attractive flower. 



CALIFORNIA POPPY 



The California poppy is one of the most beautiful flowers 

 that we have when grown in masses. Plant it in large 

 beds or in wide borders. If the flowers are picked every 

 day, the plants will bloom all summer. 



Sow the seeds where the flowers are to be grown. As the 

 seeds are very small, see that the soil is finely pulverized. 

 After the seeds have been sown, press the surface of the bed 

 with the hands or feet and sprinkle it with loose earth.
