NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1936 
AND PRECEDING YEARS 
MARIGOLD 
Dixie Sunshine (Grower’s Description) 
From the Land of Dixie to the gardens of the 
world comes this most modern, most charming and 
unique Marigold. Sensationally new and fasci¬ 
nating, the large ball shaped flowers are ingeni¬ 
ously composed of dozens of tiny five-petaled 
florets, gracefully interlocking, daintily fringed in 
effect. Brilliant golden yellow, 100% fully double, 
and but faintly scented with the characteristic 
Marigold odor, Dixie Sunshine is a ray of dazzling, 
pure beauty. Whether in the garden, on tall, bushy 
plants literally smothered with blooms, or when 
arranged for home decoration, the strong stemmed 
flowers are a constant joy from August through¬ 
out the season until frost. Pkt. 25c. 
MARIGOLD 
Yellow Supreme. Gold Medal 1935 All America 
Selections. (Grower’s Description) 
Heralded as a companion to the popular Guinea 
Gold, Yellow Supreme does in many respects 
resemble it. Like Guinea Gold, it is very free 
flowering, compact and somewhat pyramidal in 
habit, 2 to 2% feet tall, bearing loosely ruffled, 
carnation flowered blossoms. The color is a light 
lemon yellow, and the flowers are somewhat larger 
than Guinea Gold. The characteristic Marigold 
odor is almost entirely lacking, adding greatly to 
its usefulness for cutting and garden use. Pkt. 25c. 
MARIGOLD 
African Dwarf Double Queen Strain 
(Grower’s Description) 
This new strain of African Mari¬ 
golds is admirably adapted for bed¬ 
ding use. The 18-inch plants are 
sturdy and free flowering, forming a 
veritable pyramid of blooms. The flowers are from 
two to three inches across, with rather flat petals, 
giving a novel effect of softness. We highly recom¬ 
mend all these. 
Golden Queen—Fine golden yellow. Pkt. 15c. 
Orange Queen—Deep orange. Pkt. 15c. 
Primrose Queen—Light primrose yellow. Pkt. 15c. 
Yellow Queen—Clear lemon yellow. Pkt. 15c. 
Queen Mixture. Pkt. 15c. 
MARIGOLD 
African Tall Double Beauty Strain. Special Mention 
MARIGOLD 
Mexican Dwarf Orange 
(Grower’s Description) 
Distinctly new and different in flower 
form, we consider this recent introduction 
one of the finest additions to the fast grow¬ 
ing list of attractive Marigold types. It 
comes to us from Mexico, the original home 
of all our garden Marigolds, where many 
beautiful flowers, especially of brilliant 
colors, have originated. The plants are 
semi-dwarf in habit, growing 15 to 18 
inches high, freely branched, and bearing 
quantities of the very large, unique semi- 
globular petaled flowers of bright orange. 
We consider Mexican Dwarf Orange one of 
the outstanding new Marigolds for this sea¬ 
son and highly recommend it. Pkt. 25c. 
1935 All America Selections. (Grower’s Description) 
These new Beauty Marigolds lend an interesting 
variation to the large-flowered tall double African 
group. The flowers, of the so-called “Crussells” 
type, are rather flat in appearance, as contrasted to 
the ball-like effect of the Fistulosa sorts. The petals 
are semi-quilled, rather broad, and the flowers are 
very double. The plants reach a height of 2 x /z feet, 
and are well covered with flowers. The strain is 
early flowering, fine for garden or cutting use. 
Golden Beauty is a golden yellow, and Yellow Beauty 
a clear lemon yellow. 
Golden Beauty—Golden yellow. Pkt. 15c. 
Yellow Beauty—Clear lemon yellow. Pkt. 15c.
