204 FAMILIAR FLOWERS OF FIELD AND GARDEN. 



further production by Jack Frost! I have had a 



symmetrical plant in my garden, of the French order, 

 which bore at one time seventy- 

 five blossoms in various stages of 

 development. The dark pinnate 

 foliage, decorative in character, 

 and the rich yellow-orange flow- 

 ers, gave the plant a distin- 

 guished appearance very far re- 

 moved from the commonplace. 

 There was a touch of convention- 

 ality about it which was quaint 

 and old-fashioned 

 as well as re- 

 freshing in the 

 midst of sur- 

 roundings altogether modern ; 



asters of the most approved type, 



poppies of rousing proportions 



and rarest colors, sweet peas of 



the newest varieties, mourning 



brides in the latest fashion of 



black, and a host of new annuals 



which the old-fashioned garden 



never saw. But the marigold of 



the French order has still an atmosphere of old times 



about it, particularly if we happen to catch the odor 



EI Dorado Marigold. 



Legion d'Honneur 

 Marigold.
