Culture D or E—See Page 4 
TALL DOUBLE AFRICAN MARIGOLDS. Large, 
perfectly double, tubular or quilled petalled flow¬ 
ers, almost globe-shaped, with the mass of long, 
spongelike petals of thick substance. They bloom 
profusely, a single plant often having 50 or more 
splendid flowers. They last indefinitely as cut- 
flowers, especially in the early fall, when their 
glorious colors seem to grow more intense in the 
cooler w’eather. A planting of these Marigolds is a 
profitable investment as they will provide an 
abundance of gay color and beautiful flowers for 
your house and garden from early summer to late 
fall when the heavy frost finally take them, the 
last of all the annuals. We offer you two grand 
varieties.
