FERRY & GO'S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE 



Love-in-a-Mist 



(Nigella) Also 

 known as Lady- 

 in-the-Green and as Devil-in-a-Bush, because 

 the blossoms are partly concealed by the finely 

 cut foliage. The large oddly shaped flowers 

 are surrounded by a very dense fringe or 

 wreath of m(5ssy fibres. Both plant and flower 

 are handsome and i-equire but little care. Sow 

 seed in spring in any good garden soil, or may 

 be sown in fall. Hardy annual. 



Damascena, fl. pi. Double blue flowers; one 

 and one-half to two feet high. Oz. 20c. . Pkt.lOc.

 1^U|J1I1 plant with long graceful terminal 

 spikes of fragrant pea-shaped blossoms. Blooms 

 early in the season and is desirable for cutting.

 one-half feet apart. Hardy annual; about three 

 feet high. 



Cruikshanki. Blossoms white, shaded with yel- 

 low, blue and purple. Oz. 20c Pkt. 10c. 



Marigold 



No flower garden 

 seems complete 

 without this fine 

 old-fashioned gar- 

 den plant with its brilliant displays of yellow 

 and orange, both tall and dwarf sorts, and with 

 finely cut or entire bright green foliage. The 

 African {Tagetes erecta) varieties are tall, usual- 

 ly one and one-half to three feet, and are well 

 adapted for large beds, backgrounds or mixed 

 borders, while the French (Tagetes patula) are 

 more dwarf and are often used for borders and 

 pot culture as well as bedding. 



For best results start seed early indoors 

 and transplant six inches apart when danger 

 from frost is over, but good blooms of all var- 

 ieties of Marigold are often successfully ob- 

 tained from seed planted in the open ground 

 after danger from frost is past. Make the rows 

 one foot apart. Use well pulverized soil, pref- 

 erably light sandy loam and cover the seed with 

 about one-fourth inch of fine soil firmly pressed 

 down. When about two inches high, thin six to 

 twelve inches. Hardy annuals; in bloom till 

 frost comes.
