MARIGOLD (Continued) 
African Dwarf 
Golden Queen. A dwarf, large-flowered, full double, light orange of 
imbricated or carnation type of flower. Varies in height with us from 
12 to 14 inches outside to 2 feet under glass, and comes around 80% 
double. From seed sown January 9 we flowered this variety April 15 
on a raised 6-inch bed. Tr. Pkt.25c 14 oz.40c Oz.$1.50 
Carnation Flowered 
Loosely ruffled petals and size of this group suggests carnations. Very 
popular for summer cutting and greenhouse forcing. 
Sunset Giants. The largest flowering strain of Giant Marigolds. We 
have noted plenty of 7-inch flowers of this variety under California 
conditions. Mixture of colors from lemon-yellow to clear orange. 
Loosely formed flowers with Giant African growth, though somewhat 
uneven. Tr. Pkt.50c 14 oz.$1.25 Oz.$4.00

New Marigold "Golden Eagle" 
Very similar in habit, flower size and type to the well known Guinea 
Gold. The color, however, is a rich golden yellow, midway between 
Yellow Supreme and Guinea Gold. If you have grown these two, the 
value of this new color, especially for outdoor cutting, can be visualized 
and appreciated. Tr. Pkt.50c !4 oz.$1.00 Oz.$3.50 
FRENCH MARIGOLDS 
Tall Small-Flowered 
Double Scotch Gold Striped. Highly effective and true but rather late 
flowering for early frost sections. 2 Vi ft. 
Tr. Pkt.20c 14 oz.35c Oz.$1.00

Dwarf Small-Flowered 
Most valuable class to flower in small pots for spring combinations. 
For this use sow early in January and carry on in a warm house. 
Also this class is largely used in outdoor work. 
Dwarf Royal Scot, All-Double (New). (Waller-Franklin description). 
For many years we have been working on striped French Marigolds 
and we now have an achievement of which we are very proud. We 
offer the trade a new strain of Dwarf Striped French Marigold. Growth, 
dwarf and bushy, every plant of a uniform shape and height of about 
10 to 12 inches. Color is rich mahogany and gold in uniform stripes. 
In addition, we offer practically absolute doubleness in each plant.

French Double Striped. Orange and yellow striped and mixture of 
colors. A very excellent bright mixture, and with us gets into flower 
fairly early. Fully 80% double, uniformly 16 to 20 in. 
Tr. Pkt.25c Oz.75c 
Double French Monarch Strain. A bright mixture of mahogany, orange 
and yellow. Around 75 to 80% full double, nicely formed flowers. 
Flowers of this strain are more attractive than the Dwarf French mixed 
that follows, but they are also about 2 weeks later flowering and in 
sowing this should be remembered. 14 to 16 in.

Fire Cross. Single dwarf light orange, resembles Legion of Honor 
except that the yellow on outer edge of petals is a deeper golden 
shade. Also we find Fire Cross some earlier flowering and more 
compact. A valuable outdoor variety. 12 to 14 in. 
Tr. Pkt.20c Oz.60c 
Legion of Honor. A well known dwarf single. The lemon-yellow in this 
variety contrasts brightly with the mahogany center. Both the above 
two dwarf singles are valuable for early flowering in small pots.

The long stemmed, brightly colored flowers, 2 inches across, vary in 
color at different seasons, at times they are flaming red and other 
times red and yellow. Plants are much branched, 2 Vi feet tall, come 
into bloom in about 12 weeks, and continue to bear most profusely all 
through the season. Tr. Pkt.25c

cushioned center and outer guard petals, in form resembling Dixie 
Sunshine. Tr. Pkt.25c 
Dixie Sunshine. Medium size, bright yellow, fully double, ball shaped. 
Nice for cutting and garden decoration, but one of the latest flowering 
kinds on the list and sometimes caught by early frost before flowering 
in our latitude. 3 ft. Tr. Pkt.25c 
MARIGOLDS (General List) 
Giant African Class 
3 feet. Large, double-flowered; a valuable class for cutting. 
All-Double Orange. Not quite so large as Prince of Orange, the per¬ 
centage of doubles will run much higher, 80 to 85%, with a few semi¬ 
doubles. We prefer the All-Double strain. 
Tr. Pkt.25c 14 oz.50c Oz.$1.50 4 oz.$5.00 
All-Double Lemon. Same high double percentage as in All-Double 
Orange. The demand for these colors usually calls for about 25% of 
the All-Double Lemon.

All-Double Mixed. Mixture of both above colors.
