2193 Tetra This is the first new marigold developed by Marigoids 
W. Atlee Burpee Co., from stock treated with colchicine at area 
the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, Geneva, Burpee 
N.Y. Tetra is the result of the doubling of the chromosomes Specialty 
of the popular Guinea Gold Marigold. Since a plant in 
which the chromosome number is doubled is technically 
known as a tetraploid, we have named this new mari- 
gold ‘‘Tetra.’’ It is as easy to grow as any marigold. 
Flowers have the same attractive carnation flowered 
form as Guinea Gold, but are much larger, 3% to 
4 in. across, and of a very deep orange color. Showy
