in marigolds called “Hedge or Border”—every plant is 
identical in habit, height, breadth, extremely bushy, with a 
flat top and straight sides so that a row of these plants 
gives the appearance of a neatly trimmed hedge, 20 in. high 
and 30 in. wide. When in full bloom, the entire top and 
sides of the plants are covered with deep glowing golden 
orange flowers, which grow 3 in. across and somewhat 
resemble carnations but differ in that the petals are de¬ 
lightfully ruffled and slightly fluted. Flower stems are long 
and ideal for cutting. Blooms in 20 weeks from seed and 
continues to flower profusely until frost. Start seed indoors 
for earliest blooms. Pkt. 150; Vi oz. 500; Vi oz. 850.
