MARIGOLD. (See also Calendula.) 
These flowers have now, by careful and continuous

to demand attention from all desirous of having a 
fine show of bloom in the garden during autumn. For 
large gardens, mixed borders, and general effect, 
they may be used with the greatest freedom. The 
African varieties are tall, growing usually 2 feet or 
more, while the French are more dwarf, of perfect 
form and gorgeous beauty; all are desirable. Half-
