2365 Marigold, Mayling 
By permission, named Mayling in honor of Madame Chiang Kai-Shek. A most 
. outstanding Burpee marigold named for a most outstanding woman. Flowers 
grow 3 in. and more across, the petals being incurved practically their entire 
length and daintily fringed on the outer edges. This gives a soft, airy, fluffy 
appearance to the rich, buttery, golden primrose flowers. The uniform hedge- 
like plants grow about 2 ft. tall and when in bloom present a gorgeous sight. 
They are very profuse blooming, beginning early in the summer and continue 
until frost. Stems average 12 to 15 in. in length, making them desirable for 
cutting. Mayling is our newest frilled carnation-flowered Tall Double African 
marigold with odorless foliage. See back cover for color illustration. 
Pkt. 25¢; 2 pkts. 45¢; 5 pkts. $1.00. 
2378 Marigold, Cupid 
Cupid Marigold is an extra dwarf African Marigold, dwarfer than most French 
varieties and with bigger flowers—there is no other marigold like it. Plants 
grow only 6 in. high, compact, ball-like, covered with a mound of attractive 
chrysanthemum-like flowers from midsummer until frost. The bright yellow 
flowers grow 2% in. across and are beautifully formed, the individual florets 
being intertwined and interlaced in miniature duplication of a giant ’mum. 
The dwarf plants of this marigold, so appropriately named ‘‘ Cupid,” are espe- 
cially suited for borders and edgings as well as for pot plants. Of additional 
value, the foliage is without odor. Pkt. 25¢; 44 oz. 70¢; 14 oz. $1.25.

2008 Larkspur, Ruby 
In Ruby we have a color that is entirely new inlarkspurs. It may be likened to 
that of a genuine ruby with more fire, more sparkle, more life than even the most 
expensive jewel. The flowers are double and freely borne on upright, del- 
phinium-like plants of the Giant Imperial type, 3 to 4 ft.in height. Ruby comes 
into bloom rather early, a fact that will be greatly appreciated especially by 
those living in sections where summers are short. Wonderful for 
garden and cutting. Pkt. 25¢; 4 oz. 60¢; 14 oz. $1.00.
