Larkspur 
The finest Larkspur for outdoor cutting is 
probably produced by sowing seed outdoors 
the middle of August. However, sowings may, 
in some cases, be made as late as October. 
Plants will usually withstand the winter in this 
latitude without any mulch.

Marigolds 
The Marigold fulfils the florist’s desire for a flower which, at a minimum of cost, adapts itself to 
almost every use. They are being used more extensively each year for colorful spring combination 
pots by making January and February sowings. Harmony is the best for this purpose. It is a two- 
tone double flower on a dwarf early flowering plant. For taller work we suggest the odorless Crown 
of Gold. For growing under cloth, on a greenhouse bench, or out-of-doors, Yellow Supreme and 
odorless Burpee Gold are the most popular. These can be followed up by the larger African varie¬ 
ties. We urge you to try our new extra early Viking Marigolds. Of course, all varieties sell well 
to the plant trade.
