NEW MARIGOLDS 
2271 Burpee*s Red and Gold Hybrids 
HYBRIDS BETWEEN AFRICAN AND FRENCH MARIGOLDS 
Created on Burpee*s Floradale Seed Farms 
These are the only large flow¬ 
ered Red Marigolds in exist¬ 
ence. Some flowers are solid 
red with a brilliance never be¬ 
fore seen in Marigolds; others 
are delightful combinations of 
red and gold. The flowers vary 
in color according to season and 
even in different flowers on the 
same plant at the same time. 
At times they are almost pure 
golden-yellow and at other 
times bright rich mahogany- 
scarlet. In vividness and rich¬ 
ness, the coloring of these flow¬ 
ers is unsurpassed. Burpee’s 
Red and Gold Hybrids are the 
liveliest colored and most out¬ 
standing of all Marigolds. 
The flowers of Burpee’s Red and Gold Hybrids grow to 3 In. across. They are extremely double 
and nearly three times the size of the largest double French Marigold. The petals are of such great 
substance that the flowers will remain in good condition on the plants for two to three weeks and 
equally as long in water when cut. Keeping qualities are remarkable. 
Red and Gold Hybrid Marigolds are amazing in many ways. They are the earliest of all Marigolds 
as they come into bloom in less than eight weeks from seed. The plants are more profuse blooming and 
will continue to flower over a longer period of time than any other Marigold, in fact, they have flowered 
continuously for more than five months in the open garden. Plants grow 1 ft. tall, 2 ft. wide, and 
are literally covered with flowers at all times. 
Burpee’s Red and Gold Marigolds are hybrids between the African and French Marigolds and for this 
reason a number of African Marigolds of an orange color will appear in any planting. These African 
Marigolds can be distinguished from the hybrids before the plants are ^ in. high by the green cdlor 
of their stems, whereas the hybrids have deep red stems. In this way, if you desire, you may separate 
the hybrids from the African Marigolds before setting them out into a permanent location. 
Burpee’s Red and Gold Hybrid Marigolds are the most sensational new flowers for 1939. Nothing 
like them has ever been sold before. Exclusively Burpee's from Floradale Seed Farms.

2272 Golden Glow 
New Marigold with Odorless Foliage 
The bright golden yellow flowers do not look like 
any other Marigold but they do resemble in color 
and form the good old favorite “Golden Glow’’ 
Rudbeckia. The way the plants bear their flow¬ 
ers in clusters of from 5 to 10 on the ends of heavy 
branches is astonishing. Individual flowers grow 
2 to in. across, the first ones appearing in 
17 weeks after seed is sown. Plants grow 2 ft. 
tall. Golden Glow is a distinctly new Marigold 
with odorless foliage, wonderful for cutting or 
garden display. Received Honorable Mention in 
the All-America trials. Pkt. (100 seeds) 250; 
225 seeds 500; 500 seeds $1.00.
