VIKING MARIGOLDS 
FOR NORTHERN GARDENS 
This new Marigold we are introducing for the first time should prove of 
considerable interest to all flower lovers in northern climates. 
The New Viking Marigolds are the earliest large Marigolds we have 
ever seen, being in full bloom three to four weeks ahead of any other 
tall large kind. 
The plants grow 24 to 30 inches tall and are most lavishly covered with 
good sized flowers on stems branching from near the base. This makes them 
splendid for cutting. 
We named them “Viking” Marigolds because of their earliness and hardi¬ 
ness, which make them particularly good for the cooler climate. 
3403— Viking Marigold, Mixed Colors. Extra early, of medium to large size, 
and just right height. Pkt. 20c; Lg. Pkt. 40c; Vs Oz. $1-25; 34 Oz. $2.00. 
GROWING MARIGOLDS— Don’t sow until the soil warms sufficiently, 
which is not before June 1st in Western New York State. Also, sow in a 
warm sunny location and cover seed very slightly. Of course, they can 
also be started in boxes indoors about May 1st. All varieties on this page 
grow 2 ft. to 3 ft. tall and should be planted at least 15 in. to 18 in. apart 
each way. Lower growing kinds need about half as much space. When 
plants are 4 in. to 6 in. high cover the soil with Peat Moss. Maintain a 
mulch fully 1 in. deep over your Marigold bed all summer. You will have 
more Marigolds and less work.
