A New African Marigold 
Yellow Supreme (Carnation-flowered.) Rich, dazzling 
-—- - lemon-yellow flowers, fluffy and enormous. 
Many are 3 inches across! The Marigold odor, typical of most sorts 
and objectionable to many growers, has been developed into a 
pleasing, mild, honey-like fragrance in the flowers of Yellow Supreme; 
the foliage is practically odorless. Excellent as a garden flower, 
as it starts to bloom early and continues until October, or later, for 
it will withstand light autumn frosts; excellent as a cut-bloom because 
of its beauty and because it lives so long in water. Excellent as an 
exhibition variety on account of its color, size, and healthy habit of 
growth. As easily grown as any other African Marigold. Pkt. 25 cts.,
