MARIGOLDS 
F OR CUTTING, for spring pot and combination work, as well as outdoor bed¬ 
ding, Marigolds are a staple florist item and their value is increasing annually 
as a result of intensive plant breeding by West Coast seed growers. There has 
been introduced a good many new varieties in the last two or three years, but each 
one has its points of superiority that gives it value for some special purpose. From 
a January sowing the Giant African and Carnation-flowered classes, especially 
planted close—4x4 in. in a shallow raised bed or flat—will pay their way in any 
market and will leave a little besides to help along big staple crops that all too 
frequently show up “red.” 
The Dwarf African and French classes from a January and February sowing 
make very satisfactory and colorful material for combinations, that sell in such 
quantities during the spring and early summer holidays. The new early and free 
flowering Floribunda class is especially adapted to this work. From a little later 
sowing and sold out of flats both the dwarf African and French classes are unsur¬ 
passed for bedding purposes where summer temperatures stay in the 70’s and 80’s. 
The variety Harmony is undoubtedly the outstanding one for trueness to dwarf 
compact habit and an attractive color. The Monarch strain, available in Golden Ball 
and an excellent mixture is also fine. Our Ball Red Book goes into considerable 
detail concerning cultural methods as well as descriptions of the various classes that 
should be of further interest. 
GIANT AFRICAN CLASS 
Large double flowers, fine for cutting. 10,000 seeds per ounce. 
Marigold Harmony—one of the most valuable 
dwarf bedding varieties. Practically 100% true 
FISTULOSA. The quilled or tubular petaled kinds. 
* All-Double Orange. Not quite so full petaled as Prince of Or¬ 
ange, but percentage of doubles much higher, 85 to 90 per cent, 
with a few semi-double. We clearly prefer the All-Doubles for 
cutting. 
Tr. pkt., 25c; % oz., 50c; 1 oz., $1.50; 4 ozs., $5.00. 
*AII-Double Lemon. Same high percentage as All-Double Orange. 
We usually find demand for Lemon about one-third that for 
Orange. 
Tr. pkt., 25c; % oz., 50c; 1 oz., $1.50; 4 ozs., $5.00. 
All-Double Mixture. Mixture of above; predominately orange. 
Tr. pkt., 25c; % oz., 40c; 1 oz., $1.35; 4 ozs., $4.00. 
Prince of Orange. For perfect specimen flowers, the finest Giant 
African strain, but runs only about 60 per cent double and semi. 
Tr. pkt., 25c; % oz., 50c; 1 oz., $1.75. 
Lemon Queen Improved Strain. Bright lemon; same habit as 
Prince of Orange. 
Tr. pkt., 25c; % oz., 50c; 1 oz., $1.50. 
Golden Emblem. Bright gold; midway between orange and lemon; 
fairly true. 
Tr. pkt., 25c; % oz., 40c; 1 oz., $1.50. 
Dwarf Little Giant. (New). Extra dwarf and compact, only 15 
to 18 in. Flowers of large Fistulosa type, a few carnation-flow¬ 
ered; very freely produced. Valuable for pot culture or borders. 
Tr. pkt., 35c; % oz., $1.25. 
CARNATION-FLOWERED. The Imbricated type. 
TALL. Valuable for cutting. 
Guinea Gold. Attractive golden orange flowers, 2 to 3 in. and very 
freely produced. Excellent. 
Tr. pkt., 25c; % oz., 45c; 1 oz., $1.50; 4 ozs., $5.00. 
Yellow Supreme. Lemon-yellow, loose petaled flower. Similar to 
above in habit. 
Tr. pkt., 25c; % oz., 40c; 1 oz., $1.25; 4 ozs., $4.00. 
Gold. (New). Similar to Guinea Gold in color, but considerably 
earlier and odorless. Should be a distinct improvement. 
Tr. pkt. of 200 seeds, 20c; 500 seeds, 80c. 
Golden Eagle. Midway between Guinea Gold and Yellow Supreme 
in color, and a trifle larger flowered. Fairly true.
