Dwarf Royal Scot, All-Double (New). (Waller-Franklin description). 
For many years we have been working on striped French Marigolds 
and we now have an achievement of which we are very proud. We 
offer the trade a new strain of Dwarf Striped French Marigold. Growth, 
dwarf and bushy, every plant of a uniform shape and height of about 
10 to 12 inches. Color is rich mahogany and gold in uniform stripes. 
In addition, we offer practically absolute doubleness in each plant.

colors. A very excellent bright mixture, and with us gets into flower 
fairly early. Fully 80% double, uniformly 16 to 20 in.

Double French Monarch Strain. A bright mixture of mahogany, orange 
and yellow. Around 75 to 80% full double, nicely formed flowers. 
Flowers of this strain are more attractive than the Dwarf French mixed 
that follows, but they are also about 2 weeks later flowering and in 
sowing this should be remembered. 14 to 16 in.

shade. Also we find Fire Cross some earlier flowering and more 
compact. A valuable outdoor variety. 12 to 14 in.
