in his hand is used to delect if there is even the faintest odor in the foliage. 
2272 Golden Glow 
New odorless Marigold with an 
entirely distinct form. Flowers 
are bright, sharp, golden-yellow 
and resemble in color and ap¬ 
pearance those of the familiar 
Golden Glow Rudbeckia. In gen¬ 
eral form, flowers are somewhat 
likethe chrysanthemum-flowered 
types but petals are straight, 
sharply pointed and lie rather 
flat instead of curling and inter¬ 
lacing. Flowers grow about 2^2 in. 
across and are borne in clusters 
of from 5 to 10 on the ends of 
heavy branches so that only a 
few branches are needed to make 
a large and artistic bouquet. 
Plants grow 2 ft. tall, bloom in 
17 weeks from seed; continue till 
frost. Pkt. (100 seeds) 250; 
225 seeds 500; 500 seeds $1.00.
