Marigold HA 
These old-fashioned favorites are of the very easiest cultivation. 
The French, African and Carnation-flowered classes are very ef¬ 
fective. The former have the small, velvety flowers, in pretty com¬ 
binations of yellow, brown, maroon, and striped effects; the African 
and Carnation-flowered sorts are the enormous-flowered ones, in 
very showy orange and lemon shades. All are popular for beds, 
borders, and cut-flowers. They bloom profusely all summer. Start 
the seed early in a box in the house or plant directly in the garden 
when the weather is warm.
