Flowered ' Marigold ‘‘Golden Eagle” 
One of the Outstanding New Marigolds for 1937. Gold Medal Winner. 
Closely related to the popular variety Guinea Gold, Golden Eagle has the same habit, 
height and form of flower; but the color is a delightful shade of luminous gold, pleasing 
and distinctive. The plants come 100% double and the usual Marigold odor is practically 
lacking. It is early flowering. Pkt. 25c; j/g oz. 80c; J4 oz. $1.50 
Meandering Marigold Musings 
Such marvelous improvements have been 
made among the various types of Marigolds 
by expert hybridizers that the results are al¬ 
most unbelievable. 
Plower lovers the world over are justified in 
having gone “Marigold mad.” 
Personally, I’m not so keen about “getting 
shed of’’ the Marigold odor altogether. But 
that has been done, as one extreme, while with 
other new creations the Marigold odor of the 
foliage has been diluted, and the flowers made 
sweet scented. 
My unusual special $1.00 Collection offer 
enables you to plant and compare these latest 
Marigold creations at small cost. 
The “Sunset Giants” strain tops them all for 
size, and takes no back seat for general points 
of excellence. 
“Dixie Sunshine” is unique and pleasing. It 
is one of the latest to bloom. For early bloom¬ 
ing, sow a few seeds indoors and transplant. 
Marigolds transplant very easily. 
A little Marigold seed goes a long ways. 
Sow after ground warms up, thinly. Plants 
should be from 1 to 2 feet apart after final 
thinning or transplanting. The smaller kinds 
closer than the gigantic strains, such as “Sun¬ 
set Giants.” 
Ever notice how Marigolds stand the early 
light frosts? They stay with you longer than 
most annuals. Calendulas and Delphiniums 
are also among those present to the last. Most 
Marigolds described as double show a per cent 
of semi-double and maybe a few singles. But 
the semi-double flowers are also very pleasing.
