SELECTED STRAINS OF SEEDS ADAPTED TO SOUTHERN SOILS AND CLIMATE 
MARIGOLD A 
These old-fashioned favorites are annuals of the 
very easiest cultivation. Both the French and Afri¬ 
can classes are very effective. The former have the 
small, velvety flowers, in pretty combinations of yel¬ 
low, brown, maroon, and striped effects; the African 
sorts are the enormous-flowered ones, in very showy 
orange and lemon shades. Both are popular for beds, 
borders, and cut-flowers. They bloom profusely all 
summer. Start the seed early in a box in the house or 
plant directly in the garden when the weather is 
warm. 
AFRICAN: 
PRINCE OF ORANGE, TALL DOUBLE FISTULOSA, 
Large, perfectly double quilled flowers of a rich 
deep golden orange. The largest and most 
showy of them all. Pkt. 10c. 
IMBRICATA QUEEN MIXED, DWARF DOUBLE, 15 in. 
Immense golden yellow flowers, compact dwarf 
habit forming dense bushes. Pkt. 10c. 
NOVELTY STRAINS: 
YELLOW SUPREME, G.M., A.A.S., 1935. Heralded 
as a companion to the popular Guinea Gold, Yel¬ 
low Supreme does in many respects resemble it. 
Like Guinea Gold, it is very free flowering, com¬ 
pact and somewhat pyramidal in habit, two to 
two and a half feet tall, bearing loosely ruffled, 
carnation-flowered blossoms. The color is a 
creamy lemon yellow, and the flowers are some¬ 
what larger than Guinea Gold. Pkt. 10c. 
GUINEA GOLD, G.M., A.A.S., 1933. This distinct 
type of Marigold is of graceful, pyramidal 
habit, growing 2% feet high, producing a con¬ 
tinuous abundance of semi-double, loosely ruf¬ 
fled flowers 2 to 214 inches across, of a brilliant 
shade of orange flushed gold. The characteristic 
Marigold odor is much less pungent than in other 
MARIGOLD GUINEA GOLD 
sorts. Unsurpassed for cutting and its fine keep¬ 
ing qualities have helped to make it one of the 
most popular Marigolds. Pkt. 10c. 
DWARF FRENCH DOUBLE MONARCH STRAIN, A.M., 
A.A.S., 1934. 
FINEST MIXED, (New). The ideal type of Dwarf 
French Marigold. Dwarf, compact plants with 
very large, tight, double flowers in a wide color- 
range. 1 foot. Pkt. 10c. 
FRENCH: 
LEGION OF HONOR (Little Brownie), Very popu¬ 
lar single variety of compact growth, about 9 
inches high. Produces masses of golden yellow 
flowers with velvet brown centers from spring 
until late fall. Pkt. 10c. 
ROYAL SCOT—(See Novelties, Page 1) 
TAGETES SIGNATA PUMILA, 10 inches. A minia¬ 
ture type forming compact plants completely 
covered with bright yellow flowers with brown 
stripe down the center of each petal. Very 
striking for edgings. Pkt. 10c.

MARVEL OF PERU (Four o'Clocks) A 
A very popular and most interesting garden 
plant, growing to a height of 2% feet and spreading 
to perfect tree-shaped bushes 1)4 feet through, 
which are literally covered with bright-colored morn¬ 
ing-glory-like blossoms. The foliage is very dense, 
solid in form, and dresses the plant completely from 
the bottom up. The flowers open in the afternoon 
and close each morning. They range in color from 
white to yellow, pink, orange, and red. Seeds may 
be sown in the open garden. 
DWARF ALL COLORS MIXED: Pkt. 10c.
