Crown of Gold 
Winner of the Gold Medal in the All- 
America Seed Selections for 1937 
An entirely new type of Marigold. The 
crown or top part of the flower resembles a 
chrysanthemum in formation, being made up 
of long, disc petals that beautifully interlace, 
and together with the collarette of big, broad 
petals which surround it, is a bright, pleasing 
shade of clear golden orange that holds even 
when blooms are old. They are slightly sweet 
scented and the foliage is entirely free of that 
usual Marigold odor, so objectionable to 
many. This is the first Marigold in cultiva¬ 
tion with entirely odorless foliage. Plants 
grow to about 2 feet, bloom early, and are 
very floriferous. Pkt. 25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts. 
Marigold, Chrysanthemum- 
flowered Hybrids 
These new hybrids consist of many new 
and distinct types of Marigolds, varying in 
size of bloom from 2 to 4 inches in diameter. 
Some have petals which are quilled and in¬ 
curved, also the imbricated types which have 
from four to five rows of flat petals in the 
center of which many are small quilled florets. 
Colors include all shades of orange and yellow. 
Height, 3 feet, with long stems suitable for 
cutting. Pkt. 25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts. 
Tom Thumb, Golden Crown 
GUINEA GOLD. This distinct type of 
Marigold is of graceful, pyramidal habit, 
growing 2]/^ feet high, producing a continu¬ 
ous abundance of semi-double, loosely 
rufHed flowers 2 to 2}/^ inches across, of a 
brilliant shade of orange flushed gold. The 
eharacteristic Marigold odor is much less 
pungent than in other sorts. Unsurpassed 
for cutting and its fine keeping qualities 
have helped to make it one of the most 
popular Marigolds. Shown in color, page 
9. Pkt. 10 cts.; large pkt. 25 cts. 
GOLDEN EAGLE. Closely related to the 
popular variety, Guinea Gold, and has the 
same habit, height, and form of flower, but 
the color is a delightful shade of luminous 
gold, pleasing and distinctive. The plants 
come 100 per cent double and the usual 
Marigold odor is practically lacking. Pkt. 
25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts. 
LEMON GEM. Another companion to 
Guinea Gold, with type, height, and habit 
exactly the same. The color is rich lemon- 
yellow, a few shades deeper than Yellow 
Supreme. Pkt. 25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts. 
YELLOW SUPREME. Large, rich creamy 
lemon-yellow flowers of mild honey fra¬ 
grance. The foliage, as in Guinea Gold, is 
practically free from that objectionable 
Marigold odor. Shown in color, page 35. 
Pkt. 15 cts.; large pkt. 40 cts. 
TOM THUMB, GOLDEN CROWN. This 
novelty is a dwarf form of the well-known 
Guinea Gold, about 10 inches high, pos¬ 
sessing all the merits of its parent. The 
bright golden yellow flowers, larger and of 
the same elegant shape and firm substance, 
are produced in great abundance, often to the 
number of 25 to 30 on a full-grown plant. 
Being practically all double, the value of 
Golden Crown for the front row of a border 
can hardly be overrated. Pkt. 25 cts. 
COLLECTION: One pkt. each of above 5

Marigold, All Double French 
Dwarf, Royal Scot 
A new strain of French Dwarf Marigold 
about 1 foot high. The outstanding features 
of this strain are that the flowers are practi¬ 
cally 100 per cent double and all clearly 
striped mahogany and gold. Pkt, 25 cts.; 
large pkt. 75 cts. 
Marigold, Gigantea, Sunset 
Giants 
Immense flowers averaging 5 to 7 inches 
across. Instead of the usual Marigold odor, 
the flowers have a definite sweet fragrance. 
They are loosely formed, very full centered, 
with broad, heavy petals gracefully overlap)- 
ping to make a flower of great depth. The 
mixture ranges from deep orange, through 
golden orange, deep golden, light yellow, 
lemon, and primrose. The strain comes from 
60 to 65 per cent double. Plants are normally 
33 ^ to 4 feet high, but under favorable condi¬ 
tions grow as much as 7 feet high. Pkt. 
25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts. 
Marigold, Dwarf Double 
French, Harmony 
A remarkable break in the Dwarf French 
Marigolds, which differs from all existing 
forms in its habit and the shape and coloring 
of its flowers. The latter, almost suggesting 
those of a scabiosa, are of a bright golden 
yellow, bordered with a rich maroon-red, a 
most striking and effective combination of 
tints. The plants being about 12 inches high 
and of very bushy habit, form excellent 
material for bedding, and the flowers can be 
utilized for cutting. Shown in color, page
