HIGHLIGHTS 
for 1945 
MARIGOLD FLASH 
Silver Medal Winner, All-America Selection for 1945 
4164 A new Single French Marigold especially noteworthy for the bright com- 
bination of colors. In most of the flowers a base color of tangerine is overlaid 
or marked with rich Marigold red. In cool weather, this velvety red pre- 
dominates in the youngest flowers, while in hot weather the tangerine prevails. 
Individual flowers 134 in. and more across are produced in 10 weeks from 
seed and the plants bloom profusely until frost. Strong, medium length stems 
recommend the flowers for cutting. Plants perfectly uniform and compact in 
habit of growth develop into bushy mounds averaging 18 in. in height and 
24 to 30 in. in spread. Finely cut foliage has good color and quality. Pkt. 25c. 
MARIGOLD, MAMMOTH MUM 
Honorable Mention, All-America Selection for 1944

to flower, it affords the gardener an opportunity to have ‘‘Mums”’ for garden 
and cut flower display months before frost even threatens. Flowers 3% in 
and more across and 2 in. deep make it the largest Chrysanthemum-flowered 
Marigold. The fluffy, ball-like light sulphur yellow blooms made up of many 
finely cut individual florets intricately intertwined in true Mum form are 
borne profusely on upright plants 30 in. tall. Flower stems are extremely long 
and sturdy, making them easy to handle in arranging. Pkt. 25c.
