Marigolds 
The Marigolds, both African and French, are popular 
favorites among late season free-flowering annuals as 
they supply an abundance of decorative blossoms 
when many other flowers have passed their prime. 
The pleasing shades of orange and yellow blossoms 
are beautifully set off by the bright green finely divid¬ 
ed foliage. They are valuable for borders, edging, 
bedding, or for exhibition purposes.
