Q 



New, Up-to-Date 

 w and Standard Sorts 



There are few flowers that have responded 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.

Henderson's Neic 



Celeste Holm 



French Marigold' 



2701 Celeste Holm is an adorable variety in 

 every way. The dwarf compact plants pre- 

 sent an imposing picture in the garden whether 

 used as a border, in solid beds, or planted 

 among low growers in the perennial border 

 for the purpose of adding summer and fall 

 color in which seasons few of the dwarf per- 

 ennials have anything to offer. 



The large, well-formed, and densely double 

 blooms of Celeste Holm are scintillating gold — 

 as bright and brilliant a color to be found any- 

 where among flowers and the stems are long 

 enough for lovely dwarf bouquets.
