Sunset Giants 
The most amaz¬ 
ing new Mari¬ 
gold of the century. Immense flowers, 
5 to 7 inches, with definitely sweet 
fragrance and long stems. The full 
centered flowers of fairly loose forma¬ 
tion, with broad heavy petals grace¬ 
fully overlapping, are of great depth 
and even larger than the Dahlia Flow¬ 
ered Zinnias. Color range includes 
deep orange, golden orange, shades of 
yellow and a delightful new shade of 
primrose. Plants extremely robust, 
producing heavy foliage, with 6 to 8 
heavy branches, each bearing 3 to 6 
large flowers. Plants usually 3% to 4 
feet tall, but under very favorable con¬ 
ditions have been known to grow as 
much as 7 feet. Pkt. 15c. (See illustration 
on opposite page.) 
C'rAUfn nf AaIcI Given more publicity 
thrown Of UlOia than any other flower 
last season, Crown of Gold was the only 
Gold Medal winner in the All-America Selec¬ 
tions Competition for 1937. It is especially 
noted for the fact that there is no trace of 
the characteristic Marigold odor in the foli¬ 
age, stems or flowers. It is the first of what 
will, undoubtedly, be a new race of com¬ 
pletely odorless Marigolds. The flowers are 
a lovely golden orange shade, of medium size, 
averaging about 2% inches In diameter. 
Plants freely branching, 2% to 3 feet high, 
with stems of good length for cutting. 
Blooms early and stays in flower for several 
weeks. Pkt. 15c. (See illustration on oppo¬ 
site page.)

Gold Medal winner. Cflosely related to the 
popular variety Guinea Gold, Golden Eagle 
has the same habit, height and form of 
flower; but the color is a delightful shade of 
lumlnons gold, pleasing and distinctive. The 
plants come 100 per cent double and the 
usual Marigold odor is practically lacking. 
It is early flowering. Pkt. 15c. 
Mexican Doubie Orange 
A distinct novelty type, semi-dwarf. Plants 
loaded with large flowers of bright orange. 
Pkt. 15c. 
Chrysanthemum-Fiowered 
wide range of fascinating 
types and colors. Pkt. 15c. 
UsiPmnni/ Scabiosa-like flowers of rich 
orange with wide maroon 
guard petals. Indeed harmonious and charm¬ 
ing. (See next page.) Pkt. 15c. 
Such marvelous Improvements have been 
made among the various types of Marigolds 
by expert hybridizers that the results are al¬ 
most unbelievable. 
Flowex lovers the world over are justified in 
having gone “Marigold mad.” 
Personally, I’m not so keen about "getting 
shed of” the Marigold odor altogether. But 
that has been done, as one extreme, while with 
other new creations the Marigold odor of the 
foliage has been diluted, and the flowers made 
sweet scented. 
ISy unusual special 70c Collection offer 
enables you to plant and compare these latest 
Marigold creations at small cost. 
The “Sunset Giants” strain tops them all for 
size, and takes no back seat for general points 
of excellence. 
“Crown of Gold” is another of the “must 
haves.” Its freedom from the characteristic 
Marigold odor is winning many friends, espe¬ 
cially among those to whom the ordinary odor 
is more pungent than pleasing. 
A little Marigold seed goes a long ways. 
Sow after ground warms up, thinly. Plants 
should be from 1 to 2 feet apart after final 
thinning or transplanting. The smaller kinds 
closer than the gigantic strains, such as “Sun¬ 
set Giants.” 
Ever notice how Marigolds stand the early 
light frosts? They stay with you longer than 
most annuals. Calendulas and Delphiniums 
are also among those present to the last. Most 
Marigolds described as double show a per cent 
of semi-double and maybe a few singles. But 
the semi-double flowers are also very pleasing.
