Perkins’ Pleasing Annuals in Fascinating Colorings. 
BRIGHT MARIGOLDS 
A great help in keeping the garden 
colorful 
The Marigolds, with their stately 
bright yellow flowers are old time fa¬ 
vorites, and many people feel that their 
gardens are not complete without a few 
of them. They do best in a sunny loca¬ 
tion. 
Carnation Flowered Types (Tall)

Probably the two best marigolds yet

den color while Yellow Supreme is a

quets. Either variety, dozen 25 cents;

CHARMING PANSIES AND 
VIOLAS 
Pansies need a rich soil and plenty 
of moisture. We have found that heavy 
mulching is beneficial to pansies. 
If you have been having trouble with 
pansies we recommend that you try 
some of our choice violas. Violas are 
hardier than pansies and do better un¬ 
der adverse conditions. Both pansies 
and violas will grow in partial shade. 
Perkins' Jumbo Pansies 
We have growing for your garden 
one of the finest strands of really giant 
pansies that it is possible to obtain. 
All our customers remark about the

or and color combinations in this su¬ 
perior strain. Dozen 40 cents; 100 for
