Tagetes, from the name of a heathen deity. 
The showy annual, now figured, has much of the 
appearance, when a few flowers only are seen, of 
the common French Marygold ; but when seen 
growing in the garden, and in luxuriance, it shows 
itself to be a completely different subject. Unlike 
the French Marygold, it does not spread from the 
bottom into a dense straggling bush, but grows in 
single upright stems, branching only towards the 
top, where it spreads into handsome corymbs of 
flowers, to which we cannot do artistical justice. 
Its seeds were first introduced by the late Dr. 
Sutton, Archbishop of Canterbury; who, with his 
Lady, Mrs. Manners Sutton, were instrumental to 
the introduction of many American plants, not 
previously known Religion, and the admiration 
of garden beauties, are so perfectly in unison with 
each other, that those w^ho cannot relish the one 
are unlikely to be much enamoured of the other. 
There are persons who esteem an earnest attention 
to the service of their maker too effeminate for their 
observance. There are others, whose rude minds 
understand not the perceptions of more cultivated 
Order.
