 «'-»« —^ ■**■«■*»» plg^yg j,f yellow and orange, both 

 tall and dwarf sorts, and with finely cut or entire bright green 

 foliage. The African (Tagetes erecta) varieties are tall, usually 

 one and one-half to three feet, and are well adapted for large 

 beds, back grounds or mixed borders, while the French (.Tagetes 

 patula) are more dwarf and are often used for borders and pot 

 culture as well as bedding. 



For best results start seed early indoors and transplant six 

 inches apart when danger from frost is over, but good blooms 

 of all varieties of Marigold are often successfully obtained from 

 seed planted in the open ground after danger from frost is past. 

 Make the rows one foot apart. Use well pulverized soil, prefer- 

 ably light sandy loam and cover the seed with about one- 

 fourth inch of fine soil firmly pressed down. When about two 

 inches high, thin six to twelve inches. Hardy annuals; in bloom 

 till frost comes.
