TAGETES 
This is what one of our customers says: “The one 
annual I always enthuse over is the Mexican Marigold, 
but the seedsmen so often hide it in their catalogs, it 
seems to me, that we fail to see it. They call it 
Tagetes signata pumila. It has a starlike, yellow flower 
and very dainty, finely cut leaves.” 
Signata Pumila—10 in. A miniature Marigold form¬ 
ing compact little plants and completely covered with 
flowers, which are bright yellow with brown stripe 
down the center of each petal. Very striking for 
edgings. Sow the seed in spring in boxes and trans¬ 
plant. Pkt. 10c

VERBENAS 
Verbenas are free flowering hardy annuals of low 
spreading growth. Single plants in rich soil will cover 
a space three or four feet in diameter and furnish a 
profusion of flowers. If the flowers are kept cut, the 
plants will bloom much more freely. Plants crown 
from seed are not only cheaper than those grown from 
cuttings, but are more vigorous.

strain in existence. White, scarlet, pink, purple, blue 
or finest mixed. Pkt. 10c

Jersey Gem—Forms a large, compact plant, producing 
a continuous profusion of bloom for a very long period. 
The flowers are a very pleasing shade of deep violet- 
blue, with an occasional very slight variation in tint, 
and may be relied upon to come about 70% true from 
seed. A great feature of this fine variety is its won¬ 
derful power of resisting drought, the plants continuing 
to throw up flowers long after other varieties are 
withered up. Pkt. 25c 
Purple—Pkt. 15c; Mixed—Pkt. 10c. 
VIOLET (Viola Odorata) (Sweet Violet) 
No garden is complete without a nice bed of violets. 
They bloom ahead of other flowers, and their fragrance 
is delightful. They will thrive in shady places and 
therefore can be planted where other plants will not 
do well. A violet bed around the foot of a big shade 
tree is very attractive. Provide good rich soil and after 
you once get a bed established you can get any number 
of plants by dividing the roots. Hardy perennial.
