FERRY'S SEEDS 



MARIGOLD [hA] No flower garden seems complet e without 

 having one or more representatives of this most satisfactory- 

 group. Late in the season when many other blooming plants 

 are past their prime they supply an abundance of decorative 

 blossoms chiefly in tones of orange and yellow. They are all 

 of splendid habit, and have finely cut bright green foliage on 

 stout stems. The tall sorts lend themselves particularly to 

 the border while the dwarf kinds are valuable for bedding 

 and ideal edging plants. 

 African Tall Double (Tagetes erecta) [2J^ ft.] Stately bor- 

 der type with very large globular flowers composed of com- 

 pact masses of tubular or quilled petals. Splendid stems 

 for cutting but of a rather disagreeable odor if bruised. 

 Lemon Queen Clear lemon yellow. 

 Orange Prince Rich, deep orange. 



Each of the above: 3>^ oz. 40c; pkt. 10c 

 Mixed Pleasing combination of the above varieties to 



produce a rich effect K oz. 40c; pkt. 10c 



French (Tagetes patula) This class differs from the African 

 by being more floriferous but bears smaller flowers. As a 

 rule, instead of having quUled petals, they are imbricated 

 or overlapping and often two-toned which adds to their 

 beauty. 



Tall Double Sorts [2}4 ft.] These are useful for border 

 decoration and produce handsome cut flowers.

 Dwarf Double Varieties [10 in.] Most noteworthy of the 

 French strains furnishing symmetrical, bushy plants that 

 have few equals for bedding and as edging material. They 

 have a long blooming period, bear countless well formed 

 flowers in colors that scintillate against their dark green 

 fohage. 



Gold Striped Light Yellow 



Golden Ball Maroon 

 Mixed 

 Each of the above: J2 oz. 40c; pkt. 10c 

 Dwarf Single [8 in.] This variety is quite similar in 

 habit and usefulness to the dwarf double sorts except. that 

 each blossom has a single row of petals of rich golden yel- 

 low, beautifully blotched at the center with a clean edged 

 spot of velvety garnet.

MAN DEVI LLEA (Chilian Jasmine) [tP-C-10 ft.] A fine . 

 summer cUmber suitable for a mild climate, such as CaU- 

 fornia's, as the plant is only partially hardy. The vine pro- 

 duces loose racemes of leaves with great -clusters of large 

 white or yellow blossoms of waxy substance. The flowers 

 are trumpet-shaped, five petaled, about 2 inches across, with 

 an exotic fragrance akin to that of Jasmine. 

 Suaveolens Pkt. 15c 



MATRICARIA (Feverfew) [hP-2 ft.] The real perennial 

 Feverfew which if sown early will bloom promptly the first 

 season. Plants erect and bushy with finely cut dark green 

 foliage. The dainty white double button-like flowers grow 

 in terminal clusters, are excellent for cutting and blend well 

 with brighter colored flowers. It is also attractive in the 

 garden and most satisfjdng because it blooms throughout 

 the summer. 

 Capensis H oz. 50c; pkt. 10c 



MATTHIOLA (Evening Scented Stock) [hA-15 in.] The 

 sweet perfume in the twilight hours or following a shower 

 which surrounds the spot where these plants grow is 

 sufficient reason to include them in every garden. They bear 

 many small cruciform mauve-colored flowers resembling 

 single stocks. 

 Bicornis oz. 50c; pkt. 10c
