MARIGOLDS. 



ELDORADO MARIGOLD. 



The Eldorado grows very rank and tall and is surmounted 

 by great golden balls, sometimes fourteen inches in circumfer- 

 ence. As many as fifty or sixty blossoms have been counted on a 

 single plant atone time.' The flowers are very double, with petals 

 qviilled^ as in the Dahha, appearing in shades of lemon, golden, 

 or orange yellow. It is by far the handsomest of all the Marigolds. 

 Massed with dark reds, such as the Fringed Cockscomb or 

 Prince's Feather (Amaranthus), it makes a gorgeous display. 

 Pkt., 100 seeds, 3 <;ts. 



DWARF FRENCH MARIGOLDS. 



Those who object to the Marigold because it is coarse and 

 StraggUng vnll find in the dwarf varieties very compact and 

 ornamental plants. The miniature blossoms, too, in various 

 shades of vellow and bronze, make a brilliant show in the garden. 

 Children enjoy them because they are so easy to grow.

Cincinnati, O., March 19, 1898 

 "I planted your seeds March 10 and 

 they are coming up finely,— much 

 better than some from a man's nurs- 

 ery. I am delighted with your cata 

 logue." Mrs. I. W. Steaens. 



MARGUERITE CENTAUREA. 



A first cousin of the Bachelor's Button, although it 

 looks but little like it, the petals that edge the flowers 

 being much larger, more fluted, and finely fringed, 

 while the center is very full and fluffy. The flowers 

 are pure wliite, about the size of a large carnation, and 

 nearly as pretty, and are splendid for cutting. Pkt., 

 50 seeds, 4 cts. 



MAURANDYA. 



The Maurandya is a graceful annual climber for the 

 w^indow or the open ground in summer. It bears a 

 profusion of white, rose or violet blossoms and is very 

 desirable for vases and to cover stumps or low trelhses. 

 For decorative purposes it is almost as desirable as 

 Smilax. It requires very little care, coming quickly 

 from seed sown in the open ground in May. Pkt., 150 

 seeds, 3 cts.
