The Queen Strains of Marigolds 
624 DWARF ORANGE. Hailing from Mexi¬ 
co, the original home of so many of our 
favorite garden flowers, this handsome 
new type grows 15 to 18 inches high and 
bears large double flowers of a bright 
orange. It is different in character from 
the old African Marigold, being more 
branching than the latter and extremely 
free flowering. Pkt., 15c.

it is of a very charming and distinct type. The flowers are quite different fron 
any other Marigold, Scabiosa-like in formation with tubular deep orange 
center petals flanked by broad velvety dark maroon-brown guard petals. Will

Large Flowered Dwarf African Type 
This new strain of African Marigolds will rapidly find favor for bedding. The 
plants are sturdy and when well grown form perfect pyramids, each carrying as 
many as 30 to 40 flowers fully open at the same time. The large blooms, measuring 
as much as 3 inches across, have flattish petals which take away from the plant 
that coarseness sometimes associated with African Marigolds. The following va¬ 
rieties will produce at least 90 per cent of double flowers. Height 18 inches.

633 GOLDEN CROWN. A dwarf form of Marigold Guinea Gold, growing about 
10 inches high possessing all the merits of its parent. The bright golden 
yellow flowers, larger and of the same elegant shape and firm substance, are 
produced in great abundance often to the number of 25 to 30 on a full grown 
plant. Practically all double. Pkt., 25c. 
Tall Single French Marigolds 
634 JOSEPHINE. Its long stems make it ideal for cutting, and the velvety 
textured, golden brown flowers have a thread-like golden edge which gives 
them an unusual distinction. Considerable variation in flower markings must 
be expected, even from flowers growing on the same plant. Growth somewhat 
straggly; height 2 to 2*4 feet. Best used in center of beds or for filler in 
perennial borders. Don't miss this one. Pkt., 10c. 
Dwarf Single French Marigolds 
635 FIRE CROSS. In habit it resembles the well-known Legion of Honor, so much 
in demand for edging, but the unusually large golden orange flowers have a 
broad frill of eight wavy rays, each of which bears a striking blotch of fiery 
crimson, giving a multiple cross effect in the center. Pkt., 10c. 
@636 LEGION OF HONOR. (Little Brownie). A single flowering Marigold, forming 
compact bushes 9 inches high. Begin flowering early, commencing in June, continuing
