DREER'S RELIABLE FLOWER SEEDS. 



TIARIGOLD. 



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 latter are dwarfer in growth, with beautifully striped 

 flowers, and better suited for bedding purposes or for pot culture ; they suc- 

 ceed best in a light soil with full exposure to the sun ; half-hardy annuals.
