^ ® mc j rbab ^® break in the dwarf French section of Marigold, which 
differs from all existing forms in its habit and the shape and coloring 
of its flowers, the latter, almost suggesting those of a Scabiosa, 
are of a bright golden-yellow, bordered with rich maroon-red, a 
most striking and effective combination of tints. The plants being 
about 12 inches high and of very bushy habit, form excellent material 
for cutting and bedding. We consider this a most important, new 
introduction in the Marigold family. Tr.Pkt. .25c
