Flower Seeds 
MARIGOLDS 
T here is a considerable amount of cut flower 
business in the Giant African type of mari¬ 
gold. With plenty of water and deep, rich 
soil they flourish outdoors. But it is in the 
greenhouse during April and May that they 
are at their best. For this crop we sow about mid- 
January. After Valentine’s day, we transplant 
them, 3 or 4 inches apart, into flats, spacing 
them 3x4 inches. Uni ess the roots are con¬ 
fined in shallow soil, the growth will become 
rank and will not set buds. Fuller suggestions 
on the handling of this crop will be found in 
our “Red Book.’’ The showy value of Legion Alldouble Orange 
of Honor and Robert Beist for bedding or border work is not generally appreciated. 
If started early, they can be starved into Rower in small pots and sell well. Legion of 
Honor is best for this. And don’t overlook the decorative and cut flower value of 
Guinea Gold.
