Marigold Sunrise 
S OME YEARS AGO the Land of Dixie gave us Marigold Dixie Sunshine, a 
very desirable but unfortunately late blooming variety. Now, far from the 
Land of Dixie, from Canada in the North, the land of the rising sun, comes 
Marigold Sunrise, an early blooming form of Dixie Sunshine. The flowers are 
large and ball-shaped, ingeniously composed of dozens of tiny five-petaled 
florets, gracefully interlocking, daintily fringed in effect. The color is brilliant 
golden yellow, a ray of dazzling pure beauty. Of particular interest is the fact 
that Sunrise comes 100% fully double and blooming commences by August 
15, assuring its adaptability to any locality. The plants are tall, bushy, heavily 
covered with the colorful blooms and remain in flower over a long period. The 
original parent plant of Marigold Sunrise was discovered by Mr. W. H. Gale 
of Stokes Seeds, Ltd., St. Catharines, Ont., Canada, and it is through an 
arrangement with this company that we are undertaking wholesale distribu¬ 
tion of the strain which they subsequently developed.
