outstanding and easily grown annual to them a year sooner.

sown in the open where to bloom. The plant is 18 inches high

low garden flower. Pkt. 25c; 3 pkts. for 65c.

The long stemmed, brightly colored, single flowers, 2 inches 
across, vary in color at different seasons; at times they are 
flaming red and at others red and yellow. The variations in 
color and patterns of this Marigold are inherited and consti¬ 
tute what is called a variegation. Plants much branched and 
2 y 2 ft. tall, come into flower in about 12 weeks from seed and 
continue to bear profusely all summer. Pkt. 25c.

15 inches tall yet actually producing a head of 20 to 35 beau¬

able for pot specimens. Flowers vary from carnation to globe 
form with colors from yellow to very bright orange in won¬ 
derful mixture. Pkt. 25c.

SWEET PEAS

will want them.

deep rose are companion varieties in Early Flowering Sweet 
Peas I have had on trial the past summer so unbelievably 
lovely in either sun or artificial light that I heartily recom 
mend them. You too, will be delighted with them. Either, 
pkt. (30 seeds) 25c. 
DELICIOUS, an enchanting new Early Flowering variety has 
large flowers, long stem, splendid habit and is everything 
a good Sweet Pea should be. Its color is difficult to describe 
but reminds one of crushed strawberries and Devonshire 
cream blended together in delicious combination. Pkt. (20 
seeds) 25c. 
ABUNDANCE, the first Multiflora Summer Flowering Sweet 
Pea is the forerunner of a brand new type. Six flowers to 
the stem is the rule, seven or eight not uncommon and 
sprays have been found with nine blossoms. Unusually 
vigorous, and blooming profusely over a long period. Flowers 
are of good size and the color is a bright clear warm mauve 
spread evenly over the entire bloom. With its many flowered 
sprays it never fails to bring praise. Pkt. of 25 seeds 25c.
