MARIGO LD. 
AFRICAN MARIGOLDS. 
Seeds of these fine half-hardy annuals should be sown under glass, not 
earlier than the beginning of April, or the plants are apt to get too forward 
before planting out, which can only bo done with safety when all danger 
from Spring frosts is over. The African varieties grow about two feet high, 
and their large showy flowers are very effective in late Summer and Autumn. 
The French striped are very handsome for garden decoration, whilst the 
new dwarf varieties are splendid little plants for edgings of beds or borders.
