Bodger's Gigantea "Sunset Giants" (Carnation Flowered) 
"Marigold Sunset Giants" is a Novelty from California; it is said to 
have the largest known flowers in the "Marigold" group, averaging 5 
inches and some flowers attaining a size of IV 2 inches across; they 
are produced in great profusion. Instead of the usual "Marigold" odor 
these flowers have a definitely sweet fragrance. They are loosely 
formed, very full centered, with broad, heavy petals gracefully over¬ 
lapping to make a flower of great depth and even larger than 
Dahlia Flowered Zinnias. "Sunset Giants" is a mixture ranging from 
deep orange through golden orange, deep golden yellow, light yellow, 
lemon yellow, and a delightful new shade of primrose. The strain 
comes from 60 to 65 per cent double. The plants are normally 3Vi to 
4 feet high, but under favorable conditions have been known to grow 
as much as 7 feet high. Excellent for cutting.

New Marigold Chrysanthemum Flowered Hybrids 
(W aller-Franklin.) 
These new Hybrids consist of many new and distinct types of Mari¬ 
golds, varying in size of bloom from two to four inches in diameter. 
Some of these types have petals which are very quilled and in-curved 
and which remind one of miniature American Beauty Asters in orange 
and yellow. There are also the imbricated types which have from four 
to five rows of flat petals and in the center there are many small 
quilled florets. 
These beautiful types are quite variable and are most desirable. The 
beautiful colors are most fascinating and can best be described as 
containing all shades of orange and yellow. The plants are about 
three feet high, supporting masses of flowers on fine stems for cutting.

African, Little Giants Mixed 
Little Giants throws blooms varying in form from the informal Carna¬ 
tion type to the perfect Fistulosa globe. The plants are very closely 
compact and the stems short. Its foliage is a beautiful dark bluish 
green. Although Little Giants range in height from 10 to 15 inches, 
a fraction percentage of taller plants will show up. However, these 
are easily detected at the transplanting stage as they all have light 
colored foliage—Little Giants being a deep bluish green. Little Giants 
is strongly recommended for bedding and pot plants, especially the 
latter—as it will bloom a head of twenty-five flowers all at the same 
time. Color ranges from a yellow to a very bright orange, with many 
shades in between. Tr. Pkt.35c Vi oz.$1.25 Oz.$4.00
