~MARIGOLDS 
One of the most satisfactory and easily grown annuals, showing its decorative flowers from midsummer 
until late fall. Sow seed outdoors in May or indoors in March and transplant, allowing ample room 
for development. Caution—avoid heavy manuring, too much water, and crowding plants closely. 
These, with high humidity, all tend to induce too much leaf-growth and to retard flowering.

much more interesting flower form and plant habit. We include the larger-flowering varieties of various types.
