MARIGOLD DWARF FRENCH QUILLED 
“SUN-BEAM” 
Fortunately Sun-Beam is not just an ordinary Marigold, so to speak, but is 
included in the popular new quilled or Scabious flowered class. Sun-Beam 
blooms early in all latitudes and is a prolific producer of tightly quilled golden- 
orange flowers. From petal to petal, each floret will average about 12 inches 
in diameter. These guard petals show small brown flakes at their base, which 
makes an exceedingly attractive combination with the bright golden-orange 
tones. 
Individual plants of Sun-Beam grow 15 inches high and are 20 inches in 
diameter. As an early bedding Marigold, Sun-Beam is unequalled and is only 
surpassed by the Tagetes in its flowering ability. Striking uniformity of growth 
herald Sun-Beam’'s immediate popularity for border and bedding plantings.
