MARIGOLD— LEGION OF HONOR. 



MIGNONETTE. 



Very effective plants for beds or borders, free-flowering, of easy culture. The African sorts 

 are best for center of beds or backs of borders, the French for edges or as a foreground for larger 

 plants. For other varieties see Calendula and Tagetes. H. H. A. 



Legion of Honor (Little Brownie)— The prettiest of all the dwarf Marigolds, dwarf and com- 

 pact in habit, growing to a height of about 15 inches, with dark-green fern-like leaves, fur-

 surface. The blooms are of medium size, rich golden-yellow, with the centre of each petal 

 marked with velvety brown. Blooms continuously from July till cut down by frost 5
