MARIGOLD COLARETTE CROWN OF GOLD 
Given more publicity than any other flower last sea¬ 
son. Crown of Gold was the only Gold Medal winner 
in the All-America Selections Competition for 1937. 
Its main claim to glory is the fact that there is abso¬ 
lutely no trace of the characteristic Marigold odor 
in the foliage, stems or flowers. The flowers are 
about inches in diameter and are a lovely golden 
orange shade with a full crested center of small 
tubular petals surrounded by a single row of broad 
guard petals. The plants are 234 to 3 feet in height, 
freely branched, with a sparse growth of foliage. 
Crown of Gold is valuable as a cut flower variety, 
primarily, where it will be a boon to those who do 
not like or are sickened by the pungent Marigold 
scent.Package $ .20
