MARIGOLD [hA] Late in'the season when many other growing things 

 are past their prime, these plants supply an abundance of decora- 

 tive blossoms. Their tones of orange and yellow blend well when 

 the flowers are arranged loosely in bowls and vases. The bright 

 green foliage is finely cut, and the stems are stout. Tall Marigolds 

 give charm to the border, while the dwarfs are valuable for bedding 

 and make ideal edging plants. 



African Tall Double (Tagetes erecta) [2}4 ft.] Very large globular 

 flowers composed of compact tubular or quilled petals. The stems 

 should be cut carefully to avoid the somewhat disagreeable odor 

 when bruised.

Guinea Gold (African) [2 ft.] Carnation-like petals and unusually 

 brilliant golden color make this flower outstanding among Mari- 

 golds. It lacks much of the pungent odor of other Marigolds. The 

 plant blooms very freely, and practically all of the flowers are 

 double ". . . . 3^ oz. 40c; pkt. 10c 



Yellow Supreme (African) [26 in.] The fluffy flowers of light golden 

 yellow are double and semi-double, with petals broad and loose. 

 The inner petals are shorter, curving in slightly so that the center is 

 partly covered. The foliage is dark green with paler green stems. 

 This Marigold does not have the odor which is disagreeable to some 

 people; it is even slightly fragrant J^ oz. 50c; pkt. 10c

 Supreme. They are delightful together in a flower border.. Pkt. 5c

 soms have short center petals, curled and quilled, surrounded by 

 flat outer petals. The foliage is odorless. Very attractive. .Pkt. 25c 



French (Tagetes patula) This Marigold is more floriferous than the 

 African, but bears smaller flowers. As a rule, instead of being 

 quilled the petals are flat and overlapping. They are often two- 

 toned, which adds to their beauty. 



Tall Double [2i^ ft.] These are useful for border decoration and 

 produce handsome cut flowers. 



Mixed i^oz. 40c; pkt. 10c 



Dwarf Double [10 in.] These are the most noteworthy of the 

 French strains, and the symmetrically rounded plants have few 

 equals for bedding and edging. The blooming period is long, and 

 the brilliant shades of the well-formed flowers stand out strikingly 

 against the dark foliage.

 the center with a clean edged spot of velvety garnet.

Marvel of Peru (See Four o'clock) 



MESEMBRYANTHEMUM In their native homes these plants are 

 found growing luxuriantly in barren rocky places and dry sand be- 

 cause they store up moisture in their succulent stems and thick 

 foliage. For this reason and because they are low-growing, they are 

 well adapted for use on dry banks and in sunny situations in rock 

 gardens. 



Crystallinum (Ice Plant) [hA-6 in.] The foliage of this plant 

 sparkles like ice crystals, making it very ornamental as it trails over 

 the ground. The flowers are small and pinkish white, and their 

 slender petals look as though they might be made of fine glass. In 

 Northern climates the seed should be started indoors, and the 

 young plants set out only when the weather is warm. 

 H oz. 35c; pkt. 10c 



Tricolor (Dew Plant) [hA-6 in.] The flowers of this variety are 

 larger than those of Crystallinum and more attractive on account 

 of their crimson, pink, and white shadings which appear in circles 

 around a central disc of deeper coloring. The plant makes an ex- 

 cellent ground cover, especially in the South Pkt. 10c
