NEW AND SPECIAL MARIGOLDS 
2295 Golden West 
{Pictured in color on front cover) 
Here is a Marigold with many things to commend it over Guinea Gold; 
it is earlier blooming, larger flowered, dwarfer growing and more floriferous. 
Average time required from the time seed is sown until plants start to 
bloom is 15 weeks. Flowers grow 3>^ in. and more across, with petals 
loosely and gracefully placed. Plants grow ft. tall, and as they brancti 
freely from near the base, the stems are quite long and borne so profusely 
that the plants are literally cov^ered with flowers. Absolute uniformity 
characterizes Golden West. All the plants come into bloom at the same 
time; they all have exactly the same size, shape and habit. Much like 
Burpee Gold Marigold except that Golden West has foliage with the usual 
Marigold odor. Created by Burpee after five years of careful breeding 
and selection. Its earliness will be especially appreciated in sections 
where growing seasons are short. Long-keeping cut flower. 
Pkt. (30 seeds) 10^; 100 seeds 25d; 200 seeds 50^; 500 seeds $1.00.

Burpee origination. Flowers have the same attractive form 
as Dixie Sunshine, resembling small Chrysanthemums with 
their curled and interlaced florets but they are considerably 
larger, growing 2K in. across and IK in. deep, and best of all, 
they are extremely early. Blooms are had in 15 weeks from 
the time the seed is sown, so that even in the most northern 
states where summers are short. Early Sunshine will provide 
great numbers of flowers for many weeks. Plants grow 2 ft. 
tall and produce their cheerful, bright lemon-yellow flowers 
most profusely. Ideal for cutting. Showy in the garden.

Flaming Fire 
2283 Flaming Fire 
A Burpee creation in the Tall 
Single French class. The long¬ 
stemmed, brightly colored, large 
single flowers, 2 in. across, vary 
in color at different seasons; at 
times they are flaming red and 
at other times they are of many 
patterns of red and yellow. The 
variations in color, even in dif¬ 
ferent flowers on the same plant 
at the same time, are inherited 
and constitute what is known as 
a variegation. The variance in 
coloring from day to day re¬ 
sembles the restless and ever- 
changing colors of a flame as it 
consumes a burning log, hence 
the name “Flaming Fire. " 
Plants grow ft. tall and 
begin to bloom in about 12 
weeks, continuing to flower pro¬ 
fusely until hard frost. Pkt. 25^; 
oz. 65^; V 4 $1.25.
