Marigolds 
The Marigolds, both African and French, 
are popular favorites among late season 
free-flowering annuals as they supply an 
abundance of decorative blossoms when 
many other flowers have passed their 
prime. The pleasing shades of orange and 
yellow blossoms are beautifully set off by 
the bright green finely divided foliage. 
They are valuable for borders, edging, 
bedding, or for exhibition purposes.
