THE FLORISTS’ SEEDSMEN 
MARIGOLD 
T HERE has been con¬ 
siderable controver- 
sary as to which is 
really the best type of 
Giant African Mari¬ 
gold for Florists' use. 
What is really wanted 
is a very large flower 
of a close, firm spongy 
texture, which will 
ship well. The all 
Double Strains are good 
but I feel that they do 
not have a large enough 
percentage of really 
tight flowers. The two 
colors we list below 
are not all double, but 
run about 75% real 
tight spongy florist type, the balance single flowered. However those spe¬ 
cially select strains will give you a larger percentage of real cut flower ship¬ 
ping Marigolds than any existing so-called all Double Strain.
