^tgantea Sunset (Biants 
A prominent horticulturist has said that a flower to 
be desirable in the home garden must have one or more 
of three outstanding characteristics: It must be very 
showy, or fragrant, or of exceptional size. Marigold 
Sunset giants has the happy combination of all three 
of these characteristics. Not only are the flowers the 
largest ever known in the Marigold group, averaging 
5 inches and some flowers attaining a size of 7 V 2 
inches, but they are produced in such profusion that 
a plant of Sunset Giants is one of the showiest spots 
in any garden. But most remarkable, instead of the 
usual Morigold odor these flowers have a definitely 
sweet fragrance, a fact which will undoubtedly place 
them among the outstanding Novelties of the 1937 
season. The flowers are loosely formed, very full 
centered, with broad, heavy petals gracefully over¬ 
lapping to make a flower of great depth and even 
larger than Dahlia Flowered Zinnias. Sunset Giants i 
is a mixture ranging from deep orange through gold¬ 
en orange, deep golden yellow, light yellow, lemon 
yellow, and a delightful new shade of primrose. The 
strain comes from 60 to 65 per cent double. 
TP HE plant type is a new departure in Marigolds, ex- 5 
tremely strong growing, producing a heavy growth of < 
foliage with six to eight heavy branches, each bearing ' 
three to six large flowers. While the growth is heavy, 1 
still the strain blooms well before frost in any climate, j 
and in the South is in full flower before the middle 
of June. The plants are usually from 3 V 2 to 4 feet 1 
high, but under extremely favorable conditions have 
been known to grow as much as 7 feet.
