New Single Marigold, "Little Brownie." 



A charming single-flowering Marigold, forming compact little bushes only 5 to 6 inches high 

 producing a fine effect when grown in masses, and unrivaled for borders. It is remarkable 

 for blossoming extremely early and in prodi- 

 gious abundance, commencing in June from 

 spring-sown seed, blooming more and more as 

 the season advances. The duration of the 

 flowers and the great resistance of the plant to 

 drought is marvelous ; should it be so dry that 

 the foliage disappears, yet the flowers are per- 

 fected. The latter are vividly colored yellow or 

 gold, marked as with a graver, with a large spot 

 of crimson velvet. (See cut.) Pkt. 15
