10351/.. MISSION GIANT-GOLDSMITH. H. A. 
Mission Giant is a new strain of Marigold of 
medium height with giant Chrysanthemum 
blooms. They are base branching, producing 
from eight to twelve stems of excellent cutting 
length. The laterals or side branches produce 
just as large, if not larger blooms, than the 
center stems. It is very early, coming into 
bloom fully two weeks ahead of the ordinary 
Sunshine types. The ball-shaped blooms meas- 
ure from four to five inches in diameter and 
resemble giant incurved Chrysanthemums. The 
great number of small florets that go to make 
up the huge blooms are tubular except near the 
top where the tubes seem to separate into five 
miniature ribbon-like parts that curl and_ twist 
to form a perfect ball-shaped incurved flower. 
Goldsmith is a rich golden orange which makes 
a brilliant display in the garden. It received 
a 1941 bronze medal. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c;
