of the Collarette or Crown type, with a circle of 
broad rays on the outside (called the collar) and 
a crest or crown in the center which is made up of 
many artistically curled and interlaced florets re¬ 
sembling miniature Chrysanthemums. Doth the 
collar and crown are of a clean, refreshing, cheerful 
shade of bright cafiary-yellow. Flowers 2^-^ in.

2199 Crown of Gold 
All-America Gold Medal Winner of 1937 
The first Marigold in cultivation with odorless foliage. This 
freedom from the usual Marigold odor and distinctly new Col¬ 
larette or Crown form made Crown of Gold the most out¬ 
standing flower last year—more packets of seeds of it were 
planted last season than of any other new flower ever intro¬ 
duced. Flowers are sweetly fragrant, brilliant orange-gold, 
2^2 in. across, produced early and freely until frost. 2 ft. tall. 
Pkt. (200 seeds) 10^; Vg oz. 25^; y 2 oz. $1.00. 
2294 Burpee Gold 
Odorless Foliage; Carnation-like Flowers 
(For color illustration, see front cover) 
Here is a truly wonderful Marigold; earlier bltKiming, larger 
flowered, dwarfer growing and more Auriferous than Guinea 
Gold, and, above all, entirely free of the usual Marigold foliage 
odor. Glorious deep orange double blooms, iyi in. across, 
with the long petals loosely and artistically arranged. Flowers 
have unusual substance, making them most desirable for cut¬ 
ting, and as the foliage is entirely odorless, Burpee Gold Mari¬ 
gold is unsurpassed for ind(X)r decoration. Plants grow Ifi ft. 
tall, begin blooming in 15 weeks, and continue most profusely 
until frost. Pkt. (30 seeds) lOc;
