The flowers of Burpee’s Red and Gold Hybrids 
grow 2 yi to 3 in. across. Some are solid red with 
a brilliance never before 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 mahogany-scarlet. 
Burpee’s Red and Gold Hybrids are the liveliest 
colored and most outstanding of all marigolds. 
They are extremely double and nearly three 
times the size of the largest double French Mari¬ 
gold. 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 seven months 
in the open garden. Grow 1 p 2 ft. tall, 2 ft. wide. 
Burpee’s Red and Gold Marigolds are hybrids between the 
African and French Marigolds and for this reason a few 
African Marigolds of an orange color will appear in any 
planting. These African Marigolds can be distinguished 
from the hybrids before the plants are K in. high by the 
green color of their stems; the hybrids have red stems.
