Shumway’s Marigolds 
Beautiful Bedding Annual 
In late summer, when many bedding- plants are past their 
prime, Marigolds afford a wealth of color that is simply 
invaluable. The African varieties produce large self-col¬ 
ored blossoms on tall plants; the French are smaller, but

varieties being elegantly striped and spotted. The Single 
French and the Dwarf Single French Marigolds hold the 
chief place in the class.

the second year.

2290 Marigold New Double Guinea Gold 
This is a very distinct type of Marigold, of graceful 
pyramidal habit, growing 2 to 2% feet high and producing 
30 to 40 flowers 2 to 2 % inches across, of a brilliant 
shade of orange flushed with gold. Unlike the ordinary 
African Marigold, this new type produces no single flowers, 
but practically 100% semi-double. The characteristic Mari¬ 
gold odor, too, is much less pungent than in other sorts. 
In order to obtain the best results, we recommend early 
sowing. An Outstanding novelty. Pkt., 10 cts.; % oz., 
25 cts.; Vi oz., 45 cts. 
2257 Liatris 
Blazing Star or Gay 
Feather. This is a rather 
odd perennial growing in long 
spikes 4 to 5 feet tall and 
densely covered with grass- 
like leaves of light green. 
The flowers which grow 
around the stalk are light 
lavender blooming from the 
top of the stalk downward 
rather than from the bottom 
upward. Pkt., 12 cts. 
2291 Mignonette 
Charming Annual 
That Should Be in Every Garden 
Its delicious scent has given great 
popularity to this modest plant which 
the French have named “Little Dar¬ 
ling.” The vigorous branches clothed 
in dark green leaves are quite spread¬ 
ing, and they hear cone-shaped spikes 
of unassuming blossoms useful in 
combination with showier cut flowers 
that lack fragrance. The plants do 
well in full sun, but they also thrive 
in partial shade. Choicest mixed col¬ 
ors. Pkt., 5 cts.; % oz., 15 cts.; 
oz., 25 cts. 
2297 Mimulus—House Culture

tle plants

Morning Glories 
2293 Shumway’s Imperial Giant 
Flowered Japanese Mixed 
(Annual Climber). This vastly improved 
strain of mammoth-flowered Morning Glories 
is most justly celebrated the world over for 
the wondrous beauty of both flowers and 
foliage. Magnificent in size of bloom—4 to 
6 inches across. The great variety of rich 
and delicate colors, tints and markings is 
wonderful and almost incredible. My mixture 
of seed of these magnificent Giant-Flowered 
Japanese Morning Glories is superb. See cut.

five-pointed star of satiny pink. Pkt., 8 cts.; 
Vi oz.. 20 cts.; oz., 35 cts. 
2295 Heavenly Blue 
(Ruba Coerulea.) One of the few flowers 
of true blue and probably finest of all morn¬ 
ing glories. Flowers measure 3% to 4 
inches across, deep blue with white throat. 
They blossom profusely and for a long sea¬ 
son, opening in the morning and facing the 
sun. While many have easy success sowing 
seed in the open ground, others prefer to 
sow two seeds in a 2-inch pot indoors in 
April and transplant to the open after the 
weather has settled in May, in gravelly, sandy 
soil, with southern exposure. Pkt., 10 cts.; 
*4 oz., 50 cts.

Excellent for growing in shaded places. Pkt., 1<) cts.
