MARIGOLD GIGANTEA SUNSET GIANTS 
(A new Bodger Marigold) 
A prominent horticulturist has said that a flower to be desirable in 
the home garden must have one or more of three outstanding character¬ 
istics : it must be very showy, or fragrant, or of exceptional size. Mari¬ 
gold Sunset Giants has all three of these characteristics. The flowers 
are the largest ever known in the Marigold group, averaging 5 to 7*4 
inches. A plant of Sunset Giants is one of the showiest spots in any 
garden. Instead of the usual Marigold odor these flowers have a def¬ 
initely sweet fragrance. 
The flowers are loosely formed, very full centered, with broad heavy 
petals gracefully overlapping to make a flower of great depth. Sunset 
Giants is a mixture ranging from deep orange through golden orange, 
deep golden yellow, light yellow, lemon yellow, and a delightful new 
shade of primrose. Pkt. 25c. 
POPPY NUDICAULE "THE EMPEROR" 
Truly regal among this exceptional group of Poppies, The Emperor 
stands forth in a class by itself. It is without a doubt the very finest 
orange Iceland Poppy ever produced, with extremely large fluted petaled 
flowers composed of broad, overlapping petals, many flowers having 
extra petals. The strong, straight stems are very wiry, 18 to 22 inches 
long, and bear the large flowers majestically whether in the garden or 
when used for cutting. A perennial, it blooms freely the first year from 
seed. Pkt. 25c. 
CALENDULA CAMPFIRE IMPROVED 
Several years ago, Bodger’s introduced a striking new Calendula 
under the name of Campfire (Sensation). This year a vastly improved, 
reselected strain of Campfire is being introduced. The color is well 
known, a very deep strong orange with a distinct scarlet sheen on the 
upper side of each petal. Blooms are flat across the top and measure 
at least four inches in diameter. The plants are strong growing and 
even in habit, with exceptionally long heavy cutting stems, produced in 
generous quantity on each plant. Pkt. 15c. 
Zinnia Crown O'Gold Desert Gold 
ZINNIA CROWN O'GOLD DESERT GOLD 
Desert Gold is an aristocrat among Zinnias. The flowers are large, 
double and well formed, on good cutting stems, generously produced on 
plants which reach a height of 2*4 to 3 feet. It is a good garden variety 
but its main claim to individuality and distinction is the delightful color 
combination of the flowers. The variety comprises the light and deep 
shades of gold while each petal is overlaid at the base with a deeper 
golden yellow. This bicolor effect is one of arresting beauty whether 
seen under artificial light or in daylight. Flowers will be produced about 
60 days after the seed is planted. Pkt. 15c.
