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!4 in. or 2 ’/2 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 tor inexpensive 
flowers suitable for the table. They are good tor 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 _,ome 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>/2S will be in full bloom by Christmas, fine for made-up 
dishes and pans.
