are now in great favor. Especially for cut-flowers. Their ease of culture 
commend them highly, especially some of the more recent introductions 
such as Guinea Gold, Yellow Supreme, Dixie Sunshine, Lieb's Winter, 
Australian Tree, and the "All Double" Orange and Lemon varieties. 
Tall Varieties

Marigold "Guinea Gold" 
Guinea Gold (Tagetes) 
The color is a brilliant golden orange or California gold, the color 
so much in demand by florists. As a florists' cut flower, its success 
has been phenomenal. The absence of the characteristic marigold 
odor has been in its favor, as well as its excellent keeping qualities 
as a cut flower. Tr. Pkt...25c 14oz...45c Oz...$1.50 Vi lb...$5.00 
Yellow Supreme (Tagetes) 
A Fitting Companion to That Great Cut Flower Guinea Gold. 
Awarded Gold Medal by the "All-America" Council, 1934. 
Large, fluffy, Carnation-flowered blooms (many three inches across). 
Dazzling lemon-yellow color. Mild honey fragrance. Long-standing 
cut-flower. Ideal exhibition variety. Practically odorless foliage. 
Healthy, free branching plant. Fixed color and type. Profuse, quite 
early blooming. 
When Guinea Gold orange flowered type of the above was offered 
to the trade it created somewhat of a sensation in the various cut 
flower markets. 
We predict a like reception for the above new lemon colored variety.

LIEB'S MARIGOLD 
By FRITZ BAHR, Prominent Grower and Horticultural Writer 
(Excerpt from The Florists' Exchange) 
The better you become acquainted with this Winter-flowering 
Marigold, which is really indispensable to the retail grower, 
the better you will appreciate its value as a cutflower during 
the Winter and Spring months. With 2 Vi in. or 2 Vi in. stock 
planted during September or October on benches about 10 in. 
apart in a 50-deg. house, you will start to cut during December 
and continue well into May. There isn't a retail grower who 
can't realize 50c per doz. for the flowers during the Winter months, 
and many are sold at 75c or $1 per doz.; even at the lower 
price, this Marigold will pay for itself as well as almost anything 
you can carry in a 50-deg. house. The plants will simply insist 
on flowering and should be at their best during January and 
February, when other flowers are not too plentiful, and at the 
same time you probably have to call every day for inexpensive 
flowers suitable for the table. They are good for a week after 
being cut if given any care. 
All this need not make us think less of Calendulas or anything 
else we grow on for cutting, but I don't know of anything that 
persists in flowering as this Marigold does. By disbudding one 
can obtain long stem, large flowers, but every little side shoot 
will produce a blossom, and those too short-stemmed will come 
in handy for funeral work. Of course not all your customers 
would care for them, but the writer has seen some most attrac¬ 
tive wreaths made up with them. The cuttings root freely almost 
any time of year; those rooted during Fall and the plants grown 
on in 2 Vis will be in full bloom by Christmas, fine for made-up 
dishes and pans.
