CARNATION FLOWERED 
Gigantea Sunset Giants is a Novelty from California; it is said to have 
the largest known flowers in the "Marigold" group, averaging 5 inches 
and some flowers attaining a size of 7 Vi inches across. Instead of the 
usual "Marigold" odor these flowers have a definitely sweet fragrance. 
This is a mixture ranging from deep orange through golden orange, 
deep golden yellow, light yellow, lemon yellow, and a delightful new 
shade of primrose. The strain comes from 60 to 65 per cent double. The 
plants are normally 3 Vi to 4 feet high, but under favorable conditions 
have been known to grow as much as 7 feet high. Excellent for 
cutting.

Gigantea Orange Sunset. The color is a deep, rich, lively orange, 
one of the most admired shades found in the Sunset Giants Mixture. 
The plants are strong growing, upright branching in habit, usually 
about 3 feet tall, producing a heavy growth of foliage, and with 6 
to 8 heavy branches, each bearing 3 to 6 large flowers. Blooming 
commences about the first of August in most sections of the country, 
in late June in the southern states, and flowers can be depended on 
well before frost in any latitude. Orange Sunset has been tested and 
found to be a fine forcer in the greenhouse, and will come over 65 
per cent double.

Golden Eagle. Very similar in habit, flower size and type to the well 
known Guinea Gold. The color, however, is a rich golden yellow, 
midway between Yellow Supreme and Guinea Gold. If you have 
grown these two, the value of this new color, especially for outdoor 
cutting, can be visualized and appreciated. Tr. Pkt.15c

Burpee Gold. Odorless foliage. Here is truly a Marigold with a host 
of things to commend it—even, rich, deep orange color, large flowers, 
31/2 inches across, beautiful Carnation-like form, attractive habit, uni¬ 
formity of color and blooming time, full doubleness with no singles, 
earliness, and above all absolute freedom from the usual Marigold 
odor. Flowers somewhat resemble Guinea Gold, being made up of 
loosely arranged rays or petals which are shallowly fluted.

TALL AFRICAN ALL-DOUBLE 
3 feet. Large, double-flowered; a valuable class for cutting. 
Orange. Not quite so large as Prince of Orange, the percentage of 
doubles will run much higher, 80 to 85%, with a few semi-doubles. 
We prefer the All-Double strain.

Lemon. Same high grade percentage as in All-Double Orange. The 
demand for these colors usually calls for about 25% of the All-Double 
Lemon.
