Marigold, Royal Scot. 
Marigolds for Color 
A very popular old-fashioned garden annual which is remarkable for its brilliant 
display of yellow and orange flowers which are borne in greatest profusion from 
early summer till frost. The African varieties are tall, usually 2 to 3 feet high 
and well adapted for large beds, backgrounds or mixed borders. The French are 
more dwarf and can be used for borders and bedding. All varieties have finely cut, 
bright green foliage. 
African Varieties 
604 GUINEA GOLD. This is a very distinct type of Marigold of graceful 
pyramidal habit, growing 2 to 2 feet high, and producing 30 to 40 flow¬ 
ers, 2 to 2 y z inches across, of a brilliant shade of orange flushed with 
gold. Unlike the ordinary African Marigold, this new variety produces 
no single flowers, but practically 100 per cent semi-double. The charac¬ 
teristic Marigold odor, too, is much less pungent than in other sorts.

Marigold, Mexican 
615 DWARF ORANGE. Hailing from Mexi¬ 
co, the original home of so many of our 
favorite garden flowers, this handsome 
new type grows 15 to 18 inches high and 
bears large double flowers of a bright 
orange. It is different in character from 
the old African Marigold, being more 
branching than the latter and extremely 
free flowering. Sown indoors in mid-March 
and planted out in May, it will give a fine 
display of bloom from July onwards and 
will be found an excellent subject for the 
mixed summer border. Pkt., 25c. 
616 ROYAL SCOT. Modern as the crack Scottish Railway train, The Royal Scot, from which 
it borrowed its name, this Marigold is the most striking yet introduced. The large well 
formed double flowers are produced in abundance on plants from 24 to 30 inches in height. 
The color is a charming combination of mahogany and gold in symmetrical stripes which 
radiate from the center of the flower. We feel confident that Royal Scot will be wel¬ 
comed by florists and home gardeners alike. Pkt., 15c.

Tall Single French Marigolds 
625 JOSEPHINE. This dainty French Marigold never fails to call forth the ad¬ 
miration of the most critical flower lovers. Its long stems make it ideal for 
cutting, and the velvety textured, golden brown flowers have a thread-like 
golden edge which gives them an unusual distinction. Considerable variation 
in flower markings must be expected, even from flowers growing on the same 
plant. Growth somewhat straggly; height 2 to 2*4 feet. Best used in center of 
beds or for filler in perennial borders. Don't miss this one. Pkt., 10c. 
Dwarf Single French Marigolds 
626 FIRE CROSS. An immensely popular new French Marigold that has been the. 
sensation of the English trials this past season. In habit it resembles the well- 
known Legion of Honor, so much in demand for edging, but the unusually large 
golden orange flowers have a broad frill of eight wavy rays, each of which bears 
a striking blotch of fiery crimson, giving a multiple cross effect in the center. 
Pkt., 10c.
