AFRICAN MARIGOLDS 



Henderson's Pride of the Garden. These grand African Marigolds produce densely 

 double flowers, 8 to 10 inches in circumference, and of the regularity and perfection 

 of a Dahlia. A highly meritorious feature is the compact, dwarf habit of the 

 plants, which form dense bushes only 15 to 18 inches high by 2 feet across. For 

 effective garden display during the summer and autumn months, nothing can 

 surpass the gorgeous masses of color of these grand varieties. (See cut.)

A wonderful break in French Marigolds. A selection we have worked upon
