AFRICAN MARIGOLDS 
Henderson’s Pride of the Garden. These grand African Marigolds produce densely 
double flowers, 8 to 10 inches in circumference, and of the regularity and perfection 
of a Dahlia. A highly meritorious feature is the compact, dwarf habit of the 
plants, which form dense bushes only 15 to 18 inches high by 2 feet across. For 
effective garden display during the summer and autumn months, nothing can 
surpass the gorgeous masses of color of these grand varieties. ( See cut.)
