MARIGOLD, Chrysanthemum-flwd. Limelight. 
Bronze Medal A.A.S. 
When you see Liinelighl in your garden, you will 
agree that here is the first Marigold to deserve to 
be called Chrysanthemum-flwd., for the light lime- 
yellow petals are artistically incurved to foi'in a 
round and symmetrical head of the most perfect 
chrysanthemum-like form. Bushy, 1feet in 
height, a vigorous grower and profuse bloomei- for 
summer and fall. Pkt., 2nc. 
MARIGOLD, Dwarf Harmony, Spotlight. 
AV^ith all the fine qualities of Harmony, but with a 
much brighter flower, the dainty center petals of 
clear yellow, contrasting with the broad, velvety 
mahogany-red guard petals. Spotlight is of course, 
like Harmony, early-flowering, dwarf and even in 
habit, and exceedingly profuse, a leading candidate 
for a summer bed or border. Pkt., IBc.

gold, varying in color even in different flowers on 
the same plant. The earliest of all Marigolds lo 
bloom, flowering in two months from seed, anti
