MISS EMMA V. WHITE. 



MOURNING BRIDE 



(Scabiosa). 

 Tom Thumb Scabiosa. 



Somewhat dwarf in habit, 

 bearing profusely rich and 

 varied-colored flower heads, 

 ranging in color from white 

 through lilacs and reds to a 

 rich, dark purple maroon. 

 The flowers are borne on 

 long, stiff stems, and are 

 fine for cutting. Those who 

 see the new varieties hardly 

 recognize in them the old 

 Mourning Brides of our 

 grandmothers' gardens.

Mourning Bride. 



MARIGOLD, LEGION OF HONOR. 



The most desirable of the dwarf Marigolds, growing 

 about one foot high and bearing an abundance of large, 

 single flowers, the centers being of a 

 reddish, velvety brown, while the 

 outer half is a rich, golden yellow. It 

 is easy to cultivate, blossoms through- 

 out the summer and late fall, and is 

 fine for cutting. Pkt., 3 cts.

 France Rose received as a premium was a suc- 

 cess." Mrs. Wm. M. Blandino. 



MARIGOLD, ELDORADO. 



The Eldorado grows very rank and 

 tall and is surmounted by great golden 

 balls, sometimes fourteen inches a- 

 round. As many as fifty or sixty blos- 

 soms have been counted on a single 

 plant at one time. The flowers are very 

 double, with petals quilled as in the 

 Dahlias, appearing in shades of lem- 

 on, golden or orange yellow. It is by 

 far the handsomest of all the Man- 

 golds. Massed with dark reds, such 

 as the Fringed Cockscomb or Prince's 

 Feather (Amaranthus), it makes a 

 gorgeous display. Pkt., 3 cts. 





MARIGOLD, 

 CALENDULA. 



The Calendula Mar- 

 igolds are favorites a- 

 mong lovers of yellow 

 flowers. Do not allow 

 them to seed much, and 

 they will bloom until 

 the latest frosts. The 

 flowers are double,and 

 range from white 

 through light yellow, 

 golden and orange yel- 

 low shades. My own 

 special mixture con- 

 tains a goodly quan- 

 tity of the Meteor, the 

 finest Calendula, with 

 its large, double, yel- 

 low flowers, striped 

 with orange. Pkt., 3c.
