Grand Marigolds. The immense flowers are densely double, 8 to 10 inches in circiim- 
ference, and quilled with the regularity and perfection of a Dahlia. A highly meritorious 
feature is the compact, dwarf habit of the plant, which forms 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.)

Doarf, Fringed Hybrids of Salmon Queen. 
10 inches high, and producing throughout the summer and autumn great quantities of flowers 
of a new cast of colors. The exquisite salmon pink of the parent seems to show in the blood 
of the hybrids, and though the latter produce a number of colors and shades varying from 
blush-white to deep rose, and even to crimson, they are all tinged with salmon, and 
besides, all of the flowers are ornamented with a garnet zone around the eye. They begin 
blooming within a few weeks after the seed is sown, and a bed of them in the garden is a 
mass of exquisite color. Pkt., 20c.
