MATTHIOLA. 



3125 Bicornis {Evening -scented Stock). This old-

MARIGOLD. 



The African and French Marigolds are old favorite 

 free-flowering annuals of easy culture; both are ex- 

 tremely effective. The former have uniformly large 

 yellow or orange-colored flowers, and are well adapted 

 for large beds or mixed borders, the latter are dwarfer 

 in growth, with beautifully striped flowers, and better 

 suited for bedding purposes, or for pot culture; they 

 succeed best in a light soil, with full exposure to the 

 sun. A vase or bowl of any of the rich yellow sorts 

 in combination with a few blue Larkspurs or Corn- 

 flowers is very striking.
