The African and French Marigolds are old favorites, free-flowering annuals of 

 easy culture; both are extremely effective. The former have uniformly large yellow 

 or orange-colored flowers, and are well adapted for large beds or mixed borders ; the 

 atter are dwarfer in growth, with beautifully striped flowers, and better suited for 

 bedding purposes or for pot culture; ihey succeed best in a light soil with full ex- 

 posure to the sun ; half-hardy annuals. See also Calendula and Tagetes.

MINA. 



3201 Lobata. Half-hardy 

 Mexican climbing an- 

 nual. The buds are, at 

 first, of a vivid red ; but 

 turn to orange yellow 

 immediately before they 

 open, and when fully 

 expanded the flowers 

 are of a creamy 

 white shade. They are 

 freely produced from the 

 base to the summit of 

 the plant, which attains 

 a height of from 18 to 20 

 feet, and constitutes a 

 strikingly beautiful ob- 

 ject. Seed should be 

 sown in January or Feb- 

 ruary 



3202 Sang-uinea. A beau- 

 tiful and rapid growing 

 climber; much finer than 

 the Mina Lobata, pro- 

 ducing innumerable bril- 

 liant blood-red flowers ; 

 decidedly one of the best 

 climbers recently intro- 

 duced. (See cut.) ....
