MARIGOLDS OF MERIT 
These are free and continuous garden flrs; showy, and of the easiest culture. The African sorts are 
vigorous erect plants with large flrs and a bed of them is wonderfully showy in Autumn, The French’ 
are more slender, the flrs smaller but are equally desirable for beds. Signata Pumila is dwarf, very 
branching and the small bright flrs are produced in masses during Autumn. New types, new colors, 
new characteristics are constantly appearing. ;
