Marigolds for Color 
A very popular old-fashioned garden annual which is remark¬ 
able for its brilliant display of yellow and orange flowers which 
are borne in greatest profusion from early summer till frost. 
The African varieties are tall, usually 2 to 3 feet high and well 
adapted for large beds, backgrounds or mixed borders. The 
French are more dwarf and can be used for borders and bed¬ 
ding. All varieties have finely cut, bright green foliage. 
African Varieties 
602 GUINEA GOLD. This is a very distinct type of Marigold 
of graceful pyramidal habit, growing 2 to 2V 2 feet high, and 
producing 30 to 40 flowers, 2 to 2% inches across, of a bril¬ 
liant shade of orange flushed with gold. Unlike the ordinary 
African Marigold, this new variety produces no single flow¬ 
ers, but practically 100% semi-double. The characteristic 
Marigold odor, too, is much less pungent than in other sorts. 
y B oz., 25c; pkt., 10c.

ing a soft, pure golden yellow. Golden Beauty is to be pre¬

The Queen Strains of Marigolds 
Large Flowered Dwarf African Type 
This new strain of African Marigolds will rapidly find favor 
for bedding. The plants are sturdy and when well grown form 
perfect pyramids, each carrying as many as 30 to 40 flowers 
fully open at the same time. The large blooms, measuring as 
much as 3 inches across, have flattish petals which take away 
from the plant that coarseness sometimes associated with Afri¬ 
can Marigolds. The following varieties will produce at least 
90% of double flowers. Height 18 inches.
