MARIGOLD 
MAURANDYA 
Maurandyas are delicate and graceful free-blooming climbers, six to ten feet in height. Suitable for 
greenhouse or outdoor culture, but especially useful for baskets, vases, etc. The flowers are of good size; 
colors white, and various shades of rose, purple, and blue. Seed should be sown in the hotbed, green¬ 
house, or in pots in a warm sunny window. Annual. Finest mixed.lo 
The African and French Marigolds are valuable for their flowers in autumn, and can be grown to advan¬ 
tage in little clumps with other plants in the front of shrubberries or in the garden border. The African 
varieties are the taller in growth, and produce large self-colored^blossoms. The French varieties are smaller, 
some of them being elegantly striped and spotted. The dwarf-growing kinds adapt themselves to spots where 
the taller varieties would be unsuitable. Seeds can be sown in a coldframe or in a seedbed in the open border, 
and the young plants transplanted late in the spring to where they are to remain. They succeed best in a light 
soil, with full exposure to the sun. Annual.

foliage and fragrant flowers of desirable colors. Set plants two feet apart. Makes a nice hedge if set a foot
