MALCOMIA MARITIMA— (See Virginian Stock) 
No flower garden seems complete without this fine old-fashioned garden plant with its brilliant 
displays of yellow and orange, both tall and dwarf sorts, and with finely cut or entire bright green 
foliage. The African (Tagetes erecta) varieties are tall, usually one and one-half to three feet, 
and are well adapted for large beds, backgrounds or mixed borders, while the French (Tagetes 
patula) are more dwarf and are often used for borders and pot culture as well as bedding. All of these varieties have finely cut 
foliage, while the Pot Marigold (Calendula officinalis) has entire leaves, somewhat clasping the rather hairy stems. For best 
results start the seed early indoors and transplant six inches apart as soon as danger from frost is over, but good blooms of all the 
varieties of Marigold are often successfully obtained from seed planted in the open ground after danger from frost is past. Make 
the rows one foot apart. Use well pulverized soil, preferably light sandy loam and cover the seed with about one-fourth inch of fine 
soil firmly pressed down. When about two inches high, thin six to twelve inches. Hardy annuals; in bloom till frost comes.
