MARIGOLDS

 annuals of easy culture; both are extremely effective and are well 

 adapted for large beds or mixed borders; they succeed best in a 

 light soil, with full exposure to the sun. A vase or bowl of any of 

 the rich yellow sorts, in combination with a few blue Larkspurs 

 or Cornflowers, is very striking. (See also Calendulas and Tagetes-.)
