MICHELL’S NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES IN FLOWER SEEDS 11 
Marigold, Dixie Sunshine 
TALL AFRICAN MARIGOLD 
DIXIE SUNSHINE 
1936 NOVELTY (Hasting’s) 
ALL AMERICA WINNER 
This is an entirely new Chrysanthemum flowered type, coming 
fully 100 per cent double, pleasantly without the familiar Marigold 
odor in the flowers. The brilliant golden yellow flower is actually 
a head of tiny five-petalled flowers, a laciniated effect. Tall bushy 
growth, rich green foliage, supporting a mass of bright flowers on 
fine stems for cutting. This variety is late flowering, therefore, 
must be started early. 
Pkt., 25c.; 75c. per large pkt. 
TALL AFRICAN MARIGOLD 
YELLOW SUPREME (Novelty) 
Heralded as a companion to the popular Guinea Gold, Yellow 
Supreme does in many respects resemble it and like Guinea Gold 
it is very free flowering, compact, and somewhat pyramidal in 
habit. 2 to 2^2 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., 15c.; 50c. per large pkt. 
DWARF FRENCH MARIGOLD 
HARMONY (1936 Novelty) 
A splendid new French variety. Scabious flowered type, deep 
orange with a maroon collar; very double, free flowering, and 
splendid for borders. This is one of the best of the newer sorts and 
we highly recommend it for general garden purposes, especially for 
cutting. 
Pkt., 15c.; 50c. per large pkt. 
MYOSOTIS, LAVENDER GEM 
1936 NOVELTY (Hurst) 
An entirely new and distinct color in the popular Forget-me- 
not family. Lavender Gem belongs to the Alpestris section, but is 
of neater and more erect habit than Indigo Blue. It is admirably 
suited to cutting and bunching and may be recommended for 
border work. The color is distinct mid-lavender, a pure tone en¬ 
tirely free from rose or mauve. Under glass its flowers develop an 
attractive silvery sheen. Pkt., 25c. 
Marigold, Mexican Dwarf Orange 
MARIGOLD 
MEXICAN DWARF ORANGE 
1936 NOVELTY 
Semi-dwarf in habit, branching freely and heavily laden with 
quantities of unique semi-tubular petalled flowers of bright orange. 
We consider Mexican Dwarf Orange one of the outstanding new 
Marigolds for this season. 
Pkt., 25c.; 60c. per large pkt.
