Guinea Gold is a Delightful Newcomer Among the Marigolds — You'll Like It 



FERRY'S SEEDS 



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

 summer climber suitable for a mild climate, such as Cali- 

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

 duces loose groupings of leaves and great clusters of large 

 white or yellow blossoms of waxy substance. The flowers 

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

 a fragrance something like that of Jasmine. 



Suaveolens Pkt. 15c 



MATRICARIA (Feverfew) [hP-2 ft.] If sown early, this, the 

 real perennial Feverfew, will bloom promptly the first 

 season. The plants are erect and bushy with finely cut 

 dark green foliage. The double button-like flowers are 

 dainty white and grow in terminal clusters; they are ex- 

 cellent for cutting and blend well with brighter colored 

 flowers. The plants are attractive in the garden, too, and 

 they bloom all summer long. 



Capensis Ji oz. 50c; pkt. 10c 



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

 Sweet perfume during the twilight hours or following 

 a shower where these plants grow is sufficient reason 



for including them 

 in every garden. 

 They bear many 

 small mauve- 

 colored flowers 

 resembling those 

 ■A of single Stocks.

MARIGOLD [hA] Late in the season when many other grow- 

 ing things are past their prime, these plants supply an 

 abundance of decorative 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) [2H ft] Stately bor- 

 der type with very large globular flowers composed of com- 

 pact tubular or quilled petals. The stems should be cut 

 carefully to avoid the somewhat disagreeable odor when 

 bruised. 



Lemon Queen Clear lemon yellow. 



Orange Prince Rich, deep orange.

 produce a rich effect J^ oz. 40c; pkt. 10c 



Guinea Gold (African) [2 ft.] Camation-like petals and un- 

 usually brilliant golden color, make this flower outstanding 

 among Marigolds. It lacks much of the pungent odor of 

 other Marigolds. The plant blooms very freely, and 

 practically all of the flowers are double. (See page 4 for 

 further description.) 34 oz. 75c; pkt. 15c 



Frencii (Tagetes patula) This class differs from the African 

 by being more floriferous, but bears smaller flowers. As 

 a rule, instead of being quilled the petals are flat and 

 over-lapping. They are often two-toned, too, which adds 

 to their beauty. 



Tall Double Sorts [2V3 ft.] These are useful for border 

 decoration and produce handsome cut flowers.

Dwarf Double Varieties [10 in.] These are 

 the most noteworthy of the French strains, 

 and the symmetricallj' 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.

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 yellow, 

 beautifully blotched at the 

 center with a clean edged spot 

 of velvety garnet.
