LUPIN (Russell Lupin). (P). Distinguished 
by their deeply cut foliage, which has many 
lance-like rays radiating from the end of the 
leaf stalk. The flowers, shaped like those of 
peas, are borne in great profusion on long- 
stemmed spikes. The flowers, predominantly 
blue, yellow, white or rose, are usually borne 
in May and June. After the first bloom is over, 
if the plants are cut back, they will often pro- 
duce a second showing of flowers. Grows about 
3 feet tall, thriving in either sun or partial 
shade. Mixed. Packet, 15c. 
MARIGOLDS are truly the amateur garden- 
er’s best friend. They are both hardy and color- 
ful, which makes them ideal for all types of 
garden work. Blooms start early in July and 
continue until late fall. They are free from or 
withstand disease better than most other an- 
nuals. These showy annuals may be raised by 
sowing seed in the open garden as soon as the 
soil is warm, but a more certain method of pro- 
curing fine plants is to sow the seed in flats or 
hot beds about the first of March. 
Crown of Gold. Individual plants deviate very 
little from the average height of 24 inches. The 
lower branches are clustered near the ground 
level, while the higher branches are sub-oppo- 
site or alternate on the main stem. The plants 
are extremely floriferous, which gives to a 
plant the appearance of a large orange top with 
a green base. Packet, 10c. 
Sunset Giant. The very largest Marigold yet 
developed, blooms reach a size of 5 inches in 
diameter. The definite sweet scent of the 
flowers adds to its value as a cut flower, as well 
as being a good garden plant. The plants are 
extremely robust, producing a heavy growth of 
foliage, with 6 to 8 heavy branches each bear- 
ing 3 to 6 flowers. The plant grows from 3% 
to 4 feet. Packet, 10c. 
Harmony French Dwarf Double. The neat, 
dwarf, compact growth, combined with the ex- 
tremely early, free flowering character of the 
plants makes this new dwarf Harmony Hybrid 
one of the outstanding introductions of the 
season. Flowers are medium size, rather large 
for the French type, averaging 1°%4 inches in 
diameter and do not have the strong Marigold 
odor. The color range includes the popular 
yellow and innumerable blotches and striped 
combinations of golden orange and maroon, 
and various shades of golden and lemon yellow 
with the contrasting dark maroon. Plants reach 
a height of 12 to 14 inches. Packet, 10c. 
Signata Pumila Little Giant is the smallest 
Marigold yet developed, grows but 9 inches
