Marigold 



No flower garden seems complete without this fine old-fashioned garden plant with its brilliant 

 displays of 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, andare well adapted for large beds, backgrounds 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, preferably 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.
