path of gold. On a line with the small vines we 

 planted the double sunflowers which look like monster 

 quilled dahlias ; in front of these were the large 

 African marigolds, and next to the centre path there 

 was a border, three feet each side, of California 

 poppies of the glowing yellow and copper tints. 

 The path was of such dazzling brilliance that it quite 

 dazed the eye and took the breath away. 



Dwarf Marigolds 



The dear little marigolds of velvet rosettes make 

 the most fascinating dwarf hedges. There is no more 

 pungent, charming odor than that of their leaves 

 crushed in the hand. In planting the hedge, give it 

 great richness and a space of eight inches between 

 plants. 



Mignonette 



Mignonette is seldom praised except for its fra- 

 grance, but if grown in rich soil, from seed of the 

 giant varieties, the flower heads will be fully eight 

 inches long and really beautiful in their greenish- 

 white and reddish tones. For mingling in vases with 

 other flowers they are ideal, harmonizing with every- 

 thing and lending a fragrance to an entire room.
