Mage 
There are few flowers that have respanded so freely to the will of the plant hybridizers as the 
Marigold. The original types were coarse and possessed an unpleasant pungent odor. The 
first distinct change manifested itself in the Guinea Gold variety, and since its introduction 
some ten or more years ago, a number of outstanding lovely sorts have been developed. 
The African varieties are large flowering, and the French, small flowering sorts.
