MARIGOLD 
The Best of the New 
and Older Varieties 
From midsummer to fall, when other plants are past their prime, Marigolds afford a 
wealth of color that is invaluable. 
FRENCH MARIGOLDS 
Small Double and Single Flowers 
On Low Growing Plants 
Few annuals are as effective in beds and 
borders as French Marigolds, or bloom for as 
long a period. Compact bushes, 12 inches high. 
Harmony. (Early Flowering Strain.) In our 
trials this foot high plant was literally covered 
with dark maroon flowers with orange crests 
from early summer until frost.

flowering Marigold about 9 inches high; blooms

low bloom. Pkg. 10c; 1% oz. 35c 
Melody. Bronze Medal Award of 1942. See 
page 24. When used as an edging or a bor- 
der, this hardy annual resembles a well-cared- 
for miniature hedge, so uniformly do the plants 
grow. After the blossoms begin to appear, 
which is very early, they literally hide the foli- 
age, fully double, brilliant orange flowers 
which are about 11/4 inches in diameter.

low, bushy growing plant that bears from early
