MARIGOLIl. 



The African and French Marigolds are 

 old favorite free-Howering annuals of easy 

 cuhure ; boih are extremely effective. The 

 former have uniformly large yellow or or- 

 ange-colored flowers, and are well adapted 

 for large beds or mixed borders; the latter 

 are dwarfer in growth, with beauiifully 

 striped flowers, and better suited for bed- 

 ding purposes or for pot culture ; they suc- 

 ceed best in a liglit soil, with full exposure 

 to thd sun.
