Larkspur (Delphinium). 
Larkspurs thrive in any good garden soil, but are of 
much better color and texture of flower when grown in a 
deep, rich, sandy loam. Both the annual and perennial 
sorts are easily raised from seed, but as it is somewhat 
slow in germinating fall or very early spring sowing is 
recommended. The perennial sorts are also propagated 
by cuttings and divisions of roots. Seedlings should be 
given plenty of room by transplanting; they may be set 
out where they are intended to flower any time in May 
or June. The tall sorts are very suitable for setting 
among shrubbery and in borders; the dwarfer kinds are 
effective for beds. Two crops of flowers can be had each 
season by cutting away the flower stems of the first crop 
as soon as the flowers have faded.

Marigolds (Tagetes). (See also Calendula.) 
For adding shades of yellow to the garden effect in late summer and autumn the African and French Marigolds 
are unsurpassed. They make nice beds when grown together, the French sorts being used for edging; both sorts 
are also very desirable for borders or for brightening up any bare or colorless spots. Sowings should not be made 
outdoors until danger from frost is passed.

Mignonette (Reseda Odorata). 
Well known, fragrant favorites, delightful for working into bouquets. For winter flowering seed should be 
sown in July or August. All the sorts we offer are very fine, but especial attention is called to Breck’s Giant Machet 
and Golden Machet as being particularly good and the most desirable for pot culture. A succession of bloom dur¬ 
ing both summer and winter may be had by repeated sowings.
