MARIGOLD 
These old-fashioned favorites are annuals of the very easiest cultivation. Both 
the French and African classes are very effective. The former have the small, 
velvety flowers, in pretty combinations of yellow, 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.
