MARIGOLDS 
FOR 
© No class of florist crops has been so rapidly bettered 
the past few years as have Marigolds. In their various 
forms and habits, they adapt themselves to cutting, pot 
plants, especially for combinations, and the Dwarf French 
type are showy for bedding. For any purpose their rich, 
warm coloring is ever appealing. Nearly all classes are 
readily flowered indoors in April—May from a January 
—February sowing—raised beds and Carnation house 
temperature. For those who object to their pungent odor, 
the varieties Gold and Crown of Gold are entirely odor- 
less. Most popular of the Giant African strains for cut- 
ting is the “All-Double.” In growing any Marigolds un- 
der glass they must not be checked especially thru over- 
watering or low temperature. When this happens, they 
come to a standstill forcing them into buds without suf- 
ficient growth.

CUT FLOWERS
