MARIGOLD 
Marigolds afford a wealth of color that is simply invaluable. They 
are at their best when many other plants are past their prime. The 
African varieties are large-flowered, with long stems; the French are 
good for edging, and all of them are very effective, especially in an 
old-fashioned flower-garden. Seed can be sown in May where the 
plants are to grow, or seedlings may be raised in hotbeds and trans¬ 
planted outdoors the beginning of May.
