Marigold Dixie Sunshine 
Award of Merit 1936 All America Selections 
D IXIE SUNSHINE occupies a sure place in the group of new Marigold types. 
Coming to us from the land of Dixie, it is a most charming and unique 
strain. The medium-sized flowers, 2 to 2^ inches across, are fully double and 
ball shaped, ingeniously composed of dozens of tiny five-petaled florets which 
are gracefully interlocking and daintily fringed in effect. The brilliant golden 
yellow color is well set off by the lush green foliage of the bushy, rather tall 
pyramidal plants. It is extremely free flowering, producing a mass of color in 
the garden in late fall, and as the stems are heavy and of medium length Dixie 
Sunshine is a fine new cut flower variety. Since it is rather late blooming we 
recommend that seed be planted early indoors, setting out the young plants as 
soon as danger of frost is past.
