Brighten Dull Corners of the dooryard 



LUPIN The foliage of all varieties of Lupin is in the form of 

 many lance-like rays about a common center. Pea-shaped 

 blossoms are compactly placed on upright tapering spikes. 

 The plants prefer a semi-shaded spot, and should be sown 

 where they are to remain. 

 Hartwegii [hA-2 ft.] Branching in habit, this class forms 

 many fine large flowered spikes and is the best annual type 

 for cutting.

 planting. Notice the 

 individual flower with its 

 loose, fluffy petals. 



MARIGOLD [h A] 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) [2^ 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 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. J4 oz - 50c; pkt. 10c 



Yellow Supreme (African) [26 in.] This is the newest of 

 the Marigolds. 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. (For illustration and further description, see 

 page 48.) 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 over- 

 lapping. They are often two-toned, which adds to their 

 beauty.

Dwarf Double Varieties [10 in.] These are the most note- 

 worthy 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.

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.

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. The plants are attractive in the 

 garden, too, and bloom all summer long.
