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, fall 
or 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. Peroz. Pkt.

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 Dwarf 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.
