Marigolds. 



-{Dwarf French. ) 



■Well-known garden favorite of quick growth and very free- 

 flowing habit. Seed can be sown thinly in shallow drills when trees 

 are starting out in leaf, or the young plants maybe started in 

 boxes of light earth in the sunny window of a warm room and set 

 in the flower bed when danger of frost is over, thus producing 

 flowers early in the summer. This Dwarf French class forms ball- 

 like bushes twelve to fifteen inches in height, with hnely cut fern- 

 like foliage of deepest green.

Ifasturtium. &warf. 



■{Tropocolum.) 



One of the most satisfactory flowers 

 in the whole list to grow, for they will 

 thrive in any situation and in any kind

 more profusely will they bloom, as rich

 foliage rather than that of the flowers. 

 Great improvement has been made of 

 late in the size and color of the flowers. 

 They run the entire gamut of colors 

 from white to black, and some of the 

 combinations are most beautiful. One 

 great advantage they have is that the 

 oftener the flowers are plucked the 

 more profusely will tbey bloom. All 

 colors, fine mixed. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c.
