Hybrids between African and French Marigolds 
Burpee's Red and Gold Hybrid Marigolds 
Burpee’s Red and Gold Hybrids are the liveli¬ 
est colored and most outstanding of all marigolds. 
Some flowers are solid red others are delightful 
combinations of red and gold. They 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 bright rich mahogany-scarlet. They are 
extremely double, to 3 in. across, nearly three 
times the size of the largest double French 
Marigold. 
Red and Gold Hybrids are the earliest of all 
marigolds as they come into bloom in less than 
eight weeks from seed. The plants are more pro¬ 
fuse 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. Plants 
grow ft. tall, 2 ft. wide, and are literally 
covered with flowers at all times.

The flowers are of a form 
never before seen in zinnias; 
they may be likened to a large 
flowered chrysanthemum, so 
attractively curled and quilled 
are the petals. The size of the 
flowers is tremendous, and 
not only are they extremely 
broad, but they are unusually 
deep. Flowers measure up to 
6 in. across and from 4 to 5 in. 
in depth, with cutting stems 
averaging 18 in. in length. 
Another outstanding fea- • 
ture of these zinnias is the un¬ 
usual range of colors, many 
that have never been seen in 
zinnias before. Pastel shades 
predominate, such as apricot, 
soft cream, chamois, buff, 
terra-cotta, burnt orange, soft 
rose, and peach. Many of 
the flowers contain exquisite 
blendings of two and three 
colors. 
The plants grow about 3 ft. 
tall; some have leaves which 
are attractively curled and 
quilled like the petals on the 
flowers. Fine for general gar¬ 
den use and especially suited 
for cutting.
