MARIGOLD 
These old-fashioned favorites are annuals of the very easiest cultivation. 
Both the French and African classes are very effective. The former have the 
small, velvety flowers, in pretty combinations of yellow, brown, maroon, and 
striped effects; the African sorts are the enormous-flowered ones, in very showy 
orange and lemon shades. Both are popular for beds, borders, and cut-flowers. 
They bloom profusely all summer. Start the seed early in a box in the house 
or plant directly in the garden when the weather is warm.
