African Marigold, Orange Prince. 



MARIGOLD. 



The African and French Marigolds are 

 old favorite free-flowering annuals of easy 

 culture; both are extremely effective. The 

 former have uniformly large yellow or or- 

 ange-colored flowers, and are well adapted 

 for large beds or mixed borders; the latter 

 are dwarfer in growth, with beautifully 

 striped flowers, and better suited for bed- 

 ding purposes or for pot culture; they suc- 

 ceed best in a light soil, with full exposure 

 to the sun. A vase or bowl of any of the 

 rich yellow sorts in combination with a few 

 blue Larkspurs or Cornflowers is very 

 striking.
