Marigold: 



The deep golden petals of 

 Guinea Gold glow with 

 light. The blossoms are 

 large. This is one of the 

 best selections for your fall 

 garden. 



MARIGOLD [hA] Late in the season when many other garden flowers 

 are past their prime these plants supply an abundance of blossoms. 

 In giving charm to the border, many splendid new types of African 

 marigolds are replacing the older "sponge" varieties, such as 

 Lemon Queen and Orange Prince. The French varieties are ideal 

 for border, bedding, and edging.
