MAMMOTH MUM MARIGOLD 
MARIGOLD, AF 
Late in the season when many other growing things are 
past their prime, these plants supply an abundance of decora- 
tive blossoms. Their tones of orange and yellow blend well 
when the flowers are arranged loosely in bowls and vases. The 
bright green foliage is finely cut, and the stems are stout. Tall 
Marigolds give charm to the border, while the dwarfs are 
valuable for bedding and make ideal edging plants. We be- 
lieve we offer every desirable Marigold grown today. 
DWARF VARIETIES 
FRENCH DWARF. This Marigold is more floriferous than the 
African, but bears smaller flowers. As a rule, instead of being 
quilled the petals are flat and overlapping. Double Mixed.

habit and usefulness to the dwarf double sorts except that 
each blossom has a single row of petals of rich golden yellow, 
beautifully blotched at the center with a clean edged spot of 
velvety garnet. Mixed. 
Dwarf French, Double, Monarch Strain. Award of Merit, All- 
America Selections, 1934. An excellent variety for low borders.
