N O \’ E L T I E S AND OTHER FLOWERS OF NOTE 
MARIGOLD, GIGANTEA 
“ORANGE SUNSET’’ 
Like its parent variety, Sunset Giants, Marigold Orange Sunset has flowers that 
are loosely formed, very full centered, with broad, heavy, wavy petals which 
gracefully overlap to make a flower ideal not only for garden decoration but 
for cut flower use as well. The color is a deep, rich, lively orange, one of the 
most admired shades found in the Sunset Giants Mixture. The plants are strong 
growing, upright branching in habit, usually about 3 feet tall, producing a heavy 
growth of foliage, and with 6 to 8 heavy branches, each bearing 3 to 6 large 
flowers. Blooming commences about the first of August in most sections of 
the country, in late June in the southern states, and flowers can be depended 
on well before frost in any latitude. Orange Sunset has been tested and found 
to be a fine forcer in the greenhouse, and will come over 65 percent double.

DWARF DOUBLE “ SPOTLIGHT ” 
The compact plants are 12 inches to 14 inches in height, 100% All-Double, and 
flowering commences about two and a half months after seed sowing—one of 
the earliest of all Marigolds. The neat, dwarf, compact habit of the Hybrids, 
combined with the extremely early, free-flowering character of the plants make 
this new dwarf Harmony Hybrids one of the outstanding introductions of the 
season. Flowers are of medium size, rather large for the French type, averag¬ 
ing 1% inches in diameter and do not have the strong Marigold odor. The color 
range includes the popular Harmony, our new Spotlight, a lovely 
golden orange shade, a distinct golden yellow and innumerable 
blotched and striped combinations of golden orange with maroon, 
and various shades of golden and lemon yellow with the con¬ 
trasting dark maroon. All the flowers have the familiar crested 
center flanked by several rows of broad guard petals. As a showy 
garden subject. Harmony Hybrids take first honors and will 
undoubtedly supersede all other dwarf French types.

A striking, very showy companion to the popular Harmony Marigold, Spotlight 
takes its place on the Marigold roll of honor. The plants are about 12 inches to 
14 inches high, very compact, extremely free blooming and unusually early, 
commencing to flower in early June, at least two weeks earlier than ordinary 
French varieties. The gay, brilliantly colored flowers are of medium size, about 
1% inches in diameter, are borne well above the foliage, and do not have the 
strong Marigold odor. They have the characteristic Harmony flower formation, 
Scabiosa-like, with crested centers of dainty tubular petals in a bright, lively 
yellow shade which contrasts strikingly with the broad, velvety dark mahogany- 
red guard petals. Tr. Pkt.. . . 25c Vsoz....75c ’A oz.. . .$1.35 Oz....$5.00

“WINTER HARMONY” 
New Marigold 
‘Winter Harmony” 
(/‘or Greenhouse Culture) 
"Marigold Winter Harmony" is an 
entirely new type for winter flower¬ 
ing in the greenhouse. It is of the 
guilled scabious type with a single 
row of reddish brown guard petals, 
encircling a golden orange quilled 
center—with mahogany brown dots 
on the tip of each quilled petal. 
"Winter Harmony" makes a uniform 
growth of three feet in our field and 
produces 100% double 2 V 2 -inch 
flowers. We believe it is destined to 
replace Lieb's, as the flowers are 
larger and of the new and popular 
harmony type.
