Marigolds 



Marigold, Sunset Giants 



Marigold, Crown of Gold 



2175. Tlie Gold Medal Winner in 1937. The 



first Marig-old with odorless foliage and 

 sweet scented flowers. Plants grow about 

 2 feet tall, are quite bushy and bear deep 

 orange flowers about 2i/^ inches in diam- 

 eter. Central petals are more or less 

 quilled and are surrounded by an outer 

 row of guard petals. Pkt., 15c. 



Marigold, 

 Double Harmony 



2166. Although this variety was never 

 entered in the All-America trials, it is 

 a distinct novelty. Flowers somewhat 

 resemble a Scabiosa, the outer guard 

 petals are broad and deep velvety ma- 

 roon. The central petals are tubular 

 and bright orange-yellow in color. 

 Dwarf, compact and of very uniform 

 growth. Pkt., 15c. 



Marigold, 

 Dwarf Royal Scot 



2167. The finest strain of Dwarf Striped 

 French Marigold. Plants are almost 

 uniform in size and shape, 10 to 12 

 inches high and of distinct bushy 

 growth. Flowers are all full double, 

 rich mahogany striped gold. Pkt., 15c. 



Centaurea Cyanus, 

 Jubilee Gem 



1245. Award of Merit All-America Selec- 

 tions 1937. A dwarf, bushy form of 

 Centaurea Cyanus suitable for rock 

 gardens. Plants of rounded shape, 

 bearing dark blue, medium-sized flow- 

 ers. Just as hardy and easy to grow 

 as the tall variety. Pkt., 25c. 



For the past few years horticul- 

 turists seem to have concentrated 

 their efforts on Marigolds and with 

 surprising success, so that we are 

 pleased to offer here as novelties 

 six of the finest and newest crea- 

 tions in Marigolds. 



Marigold, Sunset Giants 



2155. We illustrated this fine varie- 

 ty on our front cover last year 

 and results were so universally 

 satisfactory that we feel called 

 upon to show it in its natural 

 color again this year. Plants are 

 very strong, grow 3 to 4 feet 

 high and bear the largest and 

 finest flowers we have ever seen 

 in Marigolds. Colors range from 

 primrose to deep golden orange. 

 One of the finest of fall cut flow- 

 ers. Pkt., 25c. 



Marigold, 

 Chrysanthemum 

 Flowered 



2148. A distinctly new form in Mar- 

 igolds, petals are incurved like 

 the large fall greenhouse Chry- 

 santhemums. Flowers are large 

 and borne on long stiff stems. 

 Colors vary from light cream to 

 deep yellow on up to deep golden 

 orange, making this one of the 

 most striking of the newer Mari- 

 golds. Pkt., 25c. 



Marigold, Golden Crown 



A Dwarf Guinea Gold 

 2147. Despite the fine new varieties of Mari- 

 golds that have been offered since the 

 introduction of Guinea Gold, we do not 

 think that any can take its place and we 

 are now very pleased to be able to offer 

 a dwarf form of that fine variety. Similar 

 in all respects to Guinea Gold except in 

 height which varies from 10 to 12 inches. 

 As many as 20 flowers are in bloom at one 

 time. Pkt., 25c. 



Centaurea Cyanus, Jubilee Gem
