' I ) New, Up-to-Date 



ClYUjOW w and Standard Sorts -^ 



There are lew flowers thai 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, esi : 

 The African varieties are large flowering, and the French, small flowering sorts. 



AFRICAN 



GOLDSMITH 



2704 The blooms remind you of the giant In- 

 curved Chrysanthemums. They axe, however, 

 somewhat firmer. The rich golden orange 

 blooms are from 4 to 5 inches across. The 

 plants, which grow 18 inches high, produce 8 to 

 12 stems of perfect cutting length.

 Medal Winner 



(Shown in coiors on page 57) 



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
