Marigold, Gigantea 
The greatest improvement in African Marigolds 
in years. Great flowers, averaging over 5 inches in 
diameter, are freely produced on strong-growing 
plants with heavy foliage. The flowers are more 
loosely built than the ordinary African type, but 
are still quite firm with broad, heavy petals. A 
remarkable feature is that instead of the typical 
Marigold odor, blooms of Gigantea have a sweet 
fragrance. The colors are golden orange, and various 
shades of yellow, lemon, and primrose. Pkt. 35 cts. 
Marigold, Golden Eagle 
A new African Marigold with hardly any Mari¬ 
gold odor. In plant and form of flower it resembles 
Guinea Gold but Golden Eagle coloring is a delight¬ 
ful shade of luminous gold and it is superb for 
cutting. Pkt. 35 cts. 
Marigold, Crown of Gold 
Gold Medal, 1937 All-America Selections. An 
entirely new type of Marigold with a plant 
utterly devoid of the objectionable Marigold

The color is orange throughout. Plants are about

^formation strikingly similar to an exhibition 
chrysanthemum. The rich green foliage is 
entirely free from the familiar Marigold odor, as is 
the flower. Plants fairly tall (28 inches), very 
bushy and well covered with moderate-sized flowers.

the season. Illustrated on page 17. Pkt. 25 cts.,

French Marigold, Dwarf Royal Scot 
Alldouble. This spectacular little French Mari¬ 
gold received a well-deserved mention in this year’s 
All-America Selections. It is the small Marigold 
that every gardener has been looking for, as the 
flowers are all double and the plants are all uniform 
in their 10-inch growth. The color is rich mahogany 
and gold in uniform stripes. A grand little Marigold.
