MARIGOLD. 



The African and French Marigolds are old favorites, free-flowering annuals 

 of easy cukure; 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 d\v. rfer in growth, with beaulifully striped 

 flowers, and better suited for bedding purposes or for pot culture ; th;y suc- 

 ceed best in a liglit soil with full exposure to the sun ; half-hardy annuals.

 summit of the plant, which 

 attains a height of from 18 to 

 20 feet, and constitutes a strik- 

 ingly beautiful object. 

 Seed should be sown in
