 All features considered, it is questionable whether any genus of plants amongst annuals 

 can vie with either the French or Africaii Marigolds in their glowing colors and their ele- 

 gantly lobed leaves, of the richest green tint, and, above all, in their almost unequalled and 

 sole adaption for summer and late autumn decoration in the flower-garden, retaining their 

 verdant beauty and gorgeous colors undimmed and undiminished to the very verge of win- 

 ter. No feature in their habit of growth is in excess either in leaf or flower, but admirably 

 balanced for effect ; neat, compact, and beautiful ; of the easiest culture ; should always be 

 thinned or transplanted so as to stand single, at least eighteen inches distance from each 

 bther.
