 Marguerite. — Among flowers of 

 recent introduction there has 

 not been one which is more of 

 an advance in certain features 

 over existing forms of its spe- 

 cies than this. The gain in 

 time from the sowing of the 

 seed until the plants begin 

 flowering, is simply marvelous. 

 Seed of this variety will give 

 good flowering plants in five 

 months with any sort of care, 

 while the old kinds require at 

 least a year. The flowers are 

 large, double, very fragrant 

 and borne in great abundance 

 and in great variety of colors.
