lYlarigolds.-{v 



warf 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 may be 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 finely cut fern- 

 like foliage of deepest green.

 grand assortment of brightest colorings and markings.

Plants grow two and a-half feet high, producing large, very

 eter. Rich and glowing in color, double mixed. All shades of 

 large double flowers. Pkt., 5c.; 02., 20c. 



Ifasturtium. £warf.- 



( Tropceolum. ) 



One of the most satisfactory flowers 

 in the whole list to grow, for they will 

 thrive in any situation and in any kind 

 of soil; in fact, the poorer the soil the 

 more profusely will they bloom, as rich 

 Boil tends to increase the growth of the 

 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 they bloom. All 

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

 distinct, one producing numerous small flowers,

 immense flowers four to five inches in diameter.

 for single specimens the latter gives the greatest 

 satisfaction. They are very hardy, free-flowering, and bloom from 

 June until frost.
