Larkspur yDelphinium)m 
Larkspurs thrix t* in any good garden soil, but are of much better color and texture of tloxver when grown in a 
Jeep, rich, sandy loam. Both the annual and perennial sorts are easily raised from seed, but as it is somewhat slow in 
germinating fall or ver)' early spring sowing is recommended. The perennial sorts are also propagated by cuttings and 
divisions of roots. Seedlings should l>e given plenty of room by transplanting; they may be set out where they are in* 
tended 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 l>eds. Two crops of flowers can lie had each season by cutting away the tlowe'

For adding shades of yellow to the garden effect in late summer and 
autumn the African and French Marigolds are unsurp:ussed. They make nice 
beds when grown together, the French sorts being used for edging; both 
sorts are also very desirable for bordeis or for brightening up any bare or 
colorless spots. The seed we offer is Scotch grown especially for us and pro¬ 
duces flowers that cannot be equalled. 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 during both 
summer and winter may be had by repeated sowings.

Breck^s Rainbow Nasturtiums (Tropsaolum)m 
Many people are disappointed in the Nasturtiums they raise. A great 
variety of soft and pleasing colors were looked for, but only old hard 
reds and yellows were produced. This result is chiefly due to importing 
cheap seeas in mixture from Europe. The seed we offer is an American 
product. All the different sorts and colors are grown separately, so that we 
have opportunity to choose only the really beautiful kinds. These we mix 
ourselves in proper porportion so that our customers may be assured of 
having all the effective shades of pink, rose, scarlet, crimson, brick, claret, 
chocolate, brown, garnet, orange, primrose,yellow and white. Seed may be 
planted, one inch deep, early in April, where wanted to bloom or in any con¬ 
venient place, and the plants when large enough traner^Gnted to the beds, etc.
