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 
seme 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.

2705 At our trial grounds at Red Bank, N. J., 
this new Marigold was outstanding for the 
earliness of its flowering period. It began 
blooming before any other variety, and con- 
tinued throughout the season. The plants grow 
into symmetrical mounds about one foot high, 
and are covered with golden orange flowers. 
The formation of the flower is most artistic. It 
has a fairly double crest in the center, which is 
surrounded with outer guard petals, giving it a 
distinct appearance. It lends itself admirably 
as a cut flower Pkt., 15c
