“Flower Seeds for Florists” 
FLORISTS’ MARIGOLDS 
(10,000 seeds per oz.) - 
The modern Marigolds of today include some of the 
finest examples of the plant breeder’s art; they are truly 
florists’ flowers. In their various forms and habits, they 
adapt themselves to cutting, pot plants, especially for com- 
binations, and the Dwarf French type are showy for bed- 
ding. For any purpose their rich, warm coloring is ever 
appealing. Nearly all classes are readily flowered indoors 
in April and May from a January or February sowing 
using raised beds and a Carnation house temperature. 
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 
The following six varieties are the most popular cut flower 
kinds on our list and under average conditions we believe they 
represent the most profitable sorts to grow for this purpose. 
*AIl Double Orange. This belongs to the Fistulosa or large 
flowered, solid quilled-petal type. Produces 85 to 90% 
double flowers, being preferred to Prince of Orange on this 
account. An excellent, long-stemmed cut flower strain that 
finds considerable use planted close and grown single- 
stemmed for spring greenhouse flowering. 
*AIl 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 flow- 
ered type similar to Guinea Gold, but slightly shorter 
stemmed. Sufficiently 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 
mixture of the above varieties balanced according to their
