 The Beauty Parade of MARIGOLDS w 



Of all annual flowers no group has forced its way into the foreground so much as Marigolds. Our 

 modern varieties compared with those that grandmother treasured so much have a grace and airiness 

 that conforms well with our present-day concept of beauty. Yes even the odor which heretofore 

 caused some to omit Marigolds from their gardens has been almost eliminated, and in some cases 

 been replaced by a mild but distinct fragrance. Pick any or all of those described on this page and 

 you will find them outstanding in every way. 



2731 Golden Trumpet 



A very interesting new variety growing 20 in. tall 

 with pure yellow flowers having 4 rows of trumpet- 

 shaped outer petals surrounding a tightly crested 

 center of the same color. The flowers measure from 

 2Vi to 3 in. in diameter. Pkt. 25e. 



4473 Miniature Marigold 



This is Tagetes signata pumila, one of the most de- 

 lightful Marigolds for edging of small or large beds. 

 Grows only 8 in. tall, covered with small bright yellow 

 blooms. 100 seeds 35c; pkt. 15c. 



Linaria, Northern Lights 



Linaria-Toad Flax C&) 



2630 Northern Lights

Of the highly artistic Carnation-Flowered form and an 

 appealing golden-orange with brilliant sheen. Well 

 grown the flowers easily reach a diameter of 4 J ,a in. 

 They also are very deep and very ,double. The plants 

 grow 20 to 25 in. tall and therefore are ideal for beds, 

 borders, and also for cutting. Pkt. 25e. 



2712 Yellow Supreme 



This was the first of the double Carnation-Flowered 

 Marigolds and still ranks near the top. Color of the

 seeds 40c; pkt. 15. 



2720 Sunset Giants

 have a yellow crested center and mahogany 

 red guard petals. 1000 seeds 40c; pkt. 15e.

 are single but they certainly are exceedingly 

 colorful — golden yellow with each petal 

 marked rich mahogany red at the base. The 

 mound-shaped plants grow 15 in. tall and are 

 equally as broad. The individual blooms are 

 large, 2 to 2V2 in. across. Pkt. 25c.

 ing double flowers. Pkt. 25c.
