16 ANNUAL SEEDS 
WHOLESALE PRICE LIST FOR FLORISTS AND NURSERYMEN 
Marigolds 
We believe our list includes the finest Marigolds to be found today. The modern 
Marigolds are of great value to the grower of plants and to the grower of cut 
flowers. 
Marigold) Our Improved Guinea Gold 
New Marigolds 
for 1937 
Collarette Crown of Gold 
The Gold Medal Winner in the All 
American New A ariety Trials 
SEE ILLUSTRATION ON PAGE 3 
The illustration well shows the distinct 
formation of the flower. It is entirely dif¬ 
ferent. The color of both crown and col¬ 
larette is a clean golden orange. The flow¬ 
ers are slightly sweet-scented and the fo¬ 
liage entirely lacks the usual Marigold 
odor. The flowers are of good size, 2% 
inches across, and they are freely borne, 
the plants growing about 2% feet tall. 
Crown of Gold is classed as early flower¬ 
ing. Tr. PUL 50c, 14 oz. $3.00. 
Chrysanthemum 
Flowered Hybrids 
These new Hybrids consist of many new 
and distinct types of Marigolds, varying 
in size of bloom from two to four inches 
in diameter. Some of these types have 
petals which are very quilled and incurved 
and which remind one of miniature Amer¬ 
ican Beauty Asters in orange and yellow. 
There are also the imbricated types whicli 
have from four to five rows of flat petals 
and in the center there are many small 
quilled florets. The beautiful colors are 
in all shades of orange and yellow. The 
plants are about three feet high, support¬ 
ing masses of flowers on fine stems for 
cutting. In season they are somewhat ear¬ 
lier than the ordinary tall African Mari¬ 
gold. Tr. Pkt. 35c, V4 oz. $1.00. 
Giganten 
Sunset Giants 
The largest flowered of all Marigolds, re¬ 
ports being received from some growers 
who had flowers on the average of 5 
inches across, and exceptional specimens 
of 7 to 7% inches. The flowers are loosely 
formed, full centered with broad graceful 
overlapping petals. The colors are in 
mixtures, ranging from deep orange to 
golden orange, deep yellow, light yellow 
and primrose. 
The plants, under ordinary conditions, 
are 3 to 4 feet tall, well branched, each 
branch bearing several of the enormous 
flowers. This strain also lacks any objec¬ 
tionable Marigold odor, and the flowers 
are slightly sweet-scented. 
The blooming- season is early enough so 
that the variety can be grown and flower 
well, even in the north. Tr. Pkt. 50c, V4 
oi. $2.00.
