“Flower Seeds for Florists” 

MARIGOLDS 
(10,000 Seeds per oz.) 
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 odorless. Most popular 
of the Giant African strains for cutting is the “All-Double.” In growing any Marigolds under 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 sufficient growth. 
BALL SIX BEST 
Under most growing conditions the following six varieties consti- 
tute the very cream of the standard cut-flower sorts. With reason- 
ably good culture we believe they represent the most profitable 
varieties to grow. But don’t forget the value of novelties in keeping 
up your reputation for progressiveness. 
*All Double Orange. This belongs to the Fistulosa or large flow- 
ered, solid quilled-petal type. Produces 85 to 90% double flowers, 
being preferred to Prince of Orange on this account. An excel- 
lent, long-stemmed cut flower strain that finds considerable use 
planted close and grown single-stemmed for spring greenhouse 
flowering. 
*All Double Lemon. Identical to the above strain, but a clear 
lemon yellow. 
*All Double Mixture. A mixture of the two All Doubles listed 
above with some intermediate shades. 
*Guinea Gold. A carnation flowered deep golden orange, long- 
stemmed. Freely produces, loosely petalled flowers, 3 inches in 
diameter. Fine for cutting. 
*Yellow Supreme. A bright lemon yellow, carnation flowered 
type similar to Guinea Gold, but slightly shorter stemmed. Suf- 
ficiently long though for greenhouse cut flower work. 
*Gold Improved. Excellent for greenhouse forcing, being larger 
flowered and longer stemmed than the original strain. Odorless. 
Six Best Mixture. Our own carefully compounded formula mix- 
ture of the above varieties balanced according to their commer-
