AFRICAN MARIGOLDS 
A wealth of color all summer and fall unequalled by-any other flower. 
Easy to grow in ordinary garden loam but give the best results in a 
fairly rich medium one; be sure to plant in a sunny location. Re- 
markable diversity of habit and size of flowers. Lovely for cutting, 
the flowers keeping in fine condition for a long time.

easy to grow as any marigold. Sturdy. Pkt. 15¢; 1% oz. 50¢; 14 oz. 85¢.
