Largest Marigold in Existence 
SUNSET GIANTS 
3407— Mixed Colors. You’ve probably admired 
this recent introduction in the garden of a 
friend. Because of its broad, beautifully shaped 
petals and delicately sweet fragrance, it is an 
outstanding favorite. Colors ranging from 
lemon yellow to rich, golden orange. Since 
this is a new development there is an interest¬ 
ing variation in the types and sizes of the 
flowers. Grows 3 to 4 ft. tall.

golds. The flowers are immense, round, tight- 
pelalled balls. They are later flowering and

Tall Free-Flowering 
Early Blooming Marigolds 
3427— Guinea Gold. A new earlier strain of 
that most satisfactory brilliant golden orange. 
The long-stemmed flowers are large, with 
loose wide petals. This has been the most de¬ 
pendable tall Marigold. 
Pkt. 10c; Lg. Pkt. 20c; \i Oz. 50c; Oz. $1.50. 
3426— Yellow Supreme. A medium tall bright- 
yellow with huge fluffy flowers of the same 
beautiful type as Guinea Gold. The flowers 
do not have the usual Marigold odor. Early 
flowering and a splendid companion to sow 
together with Guinea Gold. 
Pkt. 10c; Lg. Pkt. 20c; yi Oz. 50c; Oz. $1.50. 
3423— Burpee Gold (Odorless foliage). Of the 
same handsome color and type as Guinea Gold, 
but with odorless foliage. Could well be called 
an “Odorless Guinea Gold.” 
Pkt. 10c; Lg. Pkt. 20c; yi Oz. 50c; Oz. $1.50. 
A NEW SPECIAL MIXTURE 
3424— Golden Supreme Mixture. Here is an 
exceptionally fine mixture we make by using 
equal amounts of Yellow Supreme and Guinea 
Gold. Lots of flowers with long stems.

everything did fine, so I am sending you another 
order." Mrs. A. Van Buren, Broadalbin, N. )'. 
Jl A w „t DWARF DOUBLE MARIGOLDS 
The low-growing Marigolds are earlier flowering and have so many uses in every garden. In rows along the front, in clusters in the foreground 
or rockery, in beds by themselves or in combination, and along the house or driveway, wherever there is full sunlight. Besides making a colorful 
display, they are excellent to cut for low bouquets and small vases. 
HARMONY MARIGOLD 
3422—This has been a truly wonderful Marigold. 
Each bushy plant is only one foot tall, and, 
from early in the summer until late fall, it. is a 
mass of large, bright, full-double flowers. The 
center of each flower is a brilliant golden yellow 
bordered with a deep mahogany brown. It is 
one of the easiest flowers to grow from seed 
and the flowers are beautiful in bouquets.

DWARF SCOTCH MARIGOLD 
3421— Little Giant. (New.) A more compact 
growing type of the popular Dwarf Scotch. 
The plants of this variety do not split apart 
but remain neat and attractive all summer 
and fall. Grows only about 10-14 inches tall 
and is a continued mass of little single golden- 
yellow flowers.

Dwarf Scotch Marigold, Little Giant 
New Pygmy Marigold 
PYGMY 
3414—The lowest growing Marigold and one we 
feel is sure to become popular. The 6-inch tall 
plant is first in bloom and all summer smother¬ 
ed with double, bright yellow flowers 1 to \y& 
inches across, each on a stem 4 to 6 inches long. 
Very fine for edging or rock gardens. Pkt. 25c. 
SPOTLIGHT 
(All-America Winner for 1940) 
3411—A new variety of the same excellent char¬ 
acteristics as Harmony, except the flowers are 
more brilliant. The centers are larger, clearer 
yellow, with the mahogany border more dis¬ 
tinct. We considered this one of the very best 
new Marigolds for 1940. Pkt. 25c.

IMPROVED FRENCH MARIGOLDS 
3410— Dwarf Double, Mixed Colors. This new 
strain is a real improvement over any other 
Dwarf French Marigolds. The flowers are 
large, all double, very early, and in a great 
variety of colors. 
Pkt. 10c; Lg. Pkt. 20c; M Oz. 60c; Oz. $1.90. 
RED and GOLD HYBRIDS 
3413—The most brilliantly colored Marigolds in 
existence. Some of the large flowers are solidly 
colored bright mahogany-red while others vary 
from almost pure gold through every imagin¬ 
able combination of red, brown, and gold. As 
the season advances the reds become more 
intense. 
The plants grow 18 to 24 inches tall and the 
(lowers are 2 to 3 inches across. When thinning 
out seedlings, remember that those with dark 
stems have the reddest flowers. Pkt. 25c. 
HARMONY HYBRIDS 
3415— Mixed Colors. Destined to be the most 
popular dwarf Marigold. The plants have the 
same uniform compactness of Harmony, and 
the same brilliant large double flowers. The 
difference is that almost every plant has a 
different combination of maroon and gold. 
Pkt. 20c; Lg. Pkt. 10c.
