Marigolds 
One of the most satisfactory and 
easily grown annuals, showing its 
decorative flowers from midsummer 
until late fall when many other flowers 
are past their best. The bright green 
foliage is finely cut and the stems are 
strong. The tall varieties are excellent 
for borders, while the dwarf sorts make 
ideal edging and bedding plants. 
Large-Flowered Sorts 
Sunset Giants, Mixed. This remark¬ 
able new strain is the very finest we 
have ever offered, with glorious 
flowers averaging 5 inches across 
and some reaching 7 inches across. 
They are loosely formed, very full 
centered, with broad, heavy petals 
gracefully overlapping to make a 
flower of great depth with a defi¬ 
nitely sweet fragrance. They vary 
from deep orange through golden 
orange, deep golden yellow, light 
yellow, lemon-yellow, and primrose, 
and are produced in great profusion 
on attractive plants 3)^ to 4 feet 
high. The flowers come from 60 to 
65 per cent double. Pkt. 15 cts.;

Marigold, Sunset Giants 
Crown of Gold. A new type awarded the 1937 All-America Gold Medal for new flowers.

golden orange disc petals. The collarette which surrounds the crown consists of big, broad, 
drooping petals of the same color. Ht. 2 ft. Pkt. 15 cts.; J^oz. 25 cts.; 34^2. 40 cts.;

very brilliant orange, flushed gold, double flowers have ruffled, loosely placed petals.

very freely and are more attractive than 
African or French Marigolds. Guinea Gold 
was the first important advance in the form 
of African Marigolds and is unusually 
popular. Ht. 23^ ft. Pkt. 10 cts.; 34oz.

lemon-yellow color. You’ll marvel at its 
dazzling beauty. The plants are remark¬ 
ably healthy, vigorous, and free-branching, 
with foliage practically free of that ob¬ 
jectionable Marigold odor. Our strain is 
very fine. Ht. 2^ ft. Pkt. 15 cts.; }^oz.
