Guinea Gold Marigold. 
1034. GUINEA GOLD. H. A. Here is a treasure chest 
for your garden. Guinea Gold, whether grown for cut 
flowers or in the border, is one of the most beautiful and 
attractive annuals to be had. 
The large double flowers are startling. The color is a 
rich Guinea Gold which can almost be described as a bril¬ 
liant orange, a color which will harmonize well with other 
colors. The flowers will last for weeks as cut flowers 
and the plants are a mass of bloom until frost. While the 
flower is double it is not a solid double but the petals are 
beautifully waved and fringed. The characteristic Mari¬ 
gold odor is much less noticeable in this variety. It grows 
2 to 3 feet tall. Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts., 15c. 
1032y 2 . YELLOW SUPREME. H. A. It is quite simi¬ 
lar to Guinea Gold, but the flowers are slightly larger and 
of a creamy lemon-yellow color. The plant is 2 to 3 feet 
tall, and is free blooming. It does not have the charac¬ 
teristic strong marigold odor. Flowers will keep 10 days 
in good condition after cutting. Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts., 15c, 
1035. MIGNONETTE. H. A. Mixed. Of dwarf, pyra¬ 
midal form; numerous branches; very fragrant. Fine for 
combining in bouquets. Pkt., 5c. 
1040. MOONFLOWER. H. A. Mixed. A fine, ivy¬ 
leaved climber, covered every evening with large, fragrant 
flowers. Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts., 15c. 
Note: Plant Morning Glories on your poorest soil. They 
will not bloom well on rich soil. 
1045. MORNING GLORY. H. A. Imperial Japanese. A 
wonderful array of color—pure white through all shades 
of blue and red to the darkest purple. Pkt., 5c; oz., 30c. 
1047. MORNING GLORY. H. A. Tall Mixed. The 
beautiful, old-fashioned, common Morning Glory. Fine for 
porches or trellis. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c. 
1048. MORNING GLORY. Heavenly Blue. H. A. Flow¬ 
ers measure 3 to 4 inches across. Clear blue with white 
throat. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c.

TEN RULES FOR SUCCESS WITH FLOWERS 
Each Must Be Observed. 
1. Buy good seed. Cheap seed is not likely to be a 
bargain. 
2. Plant new sorts. Variety is the spice of life. 
3. Sow enough to make a showing, but do not sow too 
early. Wait until the ground is warm. 
4. Prepare the soil thoroughly. Use the spade first. 
Add plant food. 
5. Sow the seed thinly. Mix fine seed with sand to 
make it easier to sow. 
6. Sow the seed to a depth of four times its diameter. 
Shade the seedlings if in the direct light of the sun. 
7. Thin or transplant to proper distances. Crowding 
seedlings causes tall and spindly plants which will not 
produce the kind of flowers you want. 
8. Cultivate, not just to keep the weeds down but also 
to retain the moisture in the soil. 
9. Annuals will stop blooming if allowed to seed. Cut 
off all faded blossoms. 
10. Water thoroughly. Do not bring the roots to the 
surface by wetting the soil. Soak the ground good and 
water often. All flowering plants must have plenty of 
moisture when they are blooming.
