cutting. The seed can be sown either in 
the early spring or early fall. Height 3 ft.

Marigold 
CARNATION FLOWERED 
Marigolds display such a wealth of color 
in late summer after many other annuals 
are past their prime that they are of in¬ 
estimable value to every garden, and they 
are all excellent for cutting. 
Yellow Supreme. A unique type of Mari¬ 
gold that should be in every garden. The 
beautiful mildly fragrant dazzling lemon- 
yellow flowers with broad, loose frilled 
petals, remind one of a huge carnation. 
The flowers measure 3 ins. across and are 
unsurpassed for cut flowers. Height 2V 2 
ft. Pkt. 25c; oz. $2.75. 
Guinea Gold. This magnificent carnation 
flowered Marigold is quite similar to 
Yellow Supreme described above, except 
that the flowers are brilliant orange, 
flushed with gold. Both sorts should be 
in every garden. Pkt. 10c; oz. $1.50. 
African Marigold 
All Double Orange. This is the best strain 
of Double African Marigold. The large 
globular flowers are 2% ins. across and 
composed of compact, tubular or quilled 
petals. The stems should be cut care¬ 
fully to avoid the somewhat disagreeable 
odor when bruised. Height 2% ft. Pkt. 
10c; oz. $2.00. 
All Double Lemon. Identically like the 
above except that the flowers are a beau¬ 
tiful shade of lemon yellow. Height 2% 
ft. Pkt. 10c; oz. $2.00.

Marigold with 2 ins. double golden yellow 
flowers attractively marked with mahog¬ 
any brown. Height 24 ins. Pkt. 15c; 
oz. $2.50. 
Signata Pumila. This pretty little Tagetes 
or dwarf miniature Marigold, is one of 
the best low bordered annuals. The 
dainty single inch golden flowers are a 
mass of blooms all summer and into the 
fall. Height 9 ins. Pkt. 10c; oz. $1.50. 
French Marigold

Japanese Imperial. Those who have never 
seen the Japanese Morning Glory can 
form no idea of its indescribable gor¬ 
geousness. The blossoms are much larger 
than those of the ordinary Convolvulus, 
and many have fringed and intricately 
frilled edges. Height 30 ft. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 75c.

glory, vigorous climber, familiar to every 
one. It is a very rapid grower, making
