ANNUAL AND PERENNIAL FLOWER SEEDS 
FRENCH MARIGOLDS 
MARIGOLD (a) 
Late in the season when many other growing things are 
past their prime, these plants supply an abundance of deco¬ 
rative blossoms. Their tones of orange and yellow blend well 
when the flowers are arranged loosely in bowls and vases. 
The bright green foliage is finely cut, and the stems are stout. 
Tall Marigolds give charm to the border, while the dwarfs 
are valuable for bedding and edging plants.

placed. Plants grow about feet tall, and as they branch

the flowers are to be had along the sides as well as on top.
