MARIGOLD. 



The African and French Marigolds are old favorite free- 

 flowering annuals of easy culture; both are extremely 

 effective. The former have uniformly large 

 yellow or orange-colored flowers, and are well 

 adapted for large beds or mixed borders; the 

 latter are dwarfer in growth, with beautifully 

 striped flowers, and belter suited for bedding 

 purposes, or for pot culture; they succeed best 

 ight 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.
