ami altliough it is probable that the name of Marigold was originally given to the 

 Calendula, the garden Marigold, we think the name is well a]>i)lied to this plan't 

 with its beautiful golden blossoms. It has many other names in difforent parts of 

 England. In some parts it is called " St. John's bloom," in Kent yellow-bottles, 

 ruddes or ruddle in Norfolk, gowlans or goules in the North of England, and yellow 

 gowans or gools in Scotland. In the latter country a custom prevailed at one time, 

 called " gool ridings," when the landlords rode over the fields and exacted a penalty 

 from farmers on whose ground the conspicuous yellow Marigold predominated. In 

 Germany it ia used for dyeing yellow.
