M ARIGOLDS —are easily grown - 
(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 bedding. For any pur- 
pose their rich, warm coloring is ever appealing. Nearly all classes are readily 
flowered indoors in April and May from a January or February sowing. 
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 stand- 
still forcing them into buds without sufficient growth. 
NOTE: The varieties Gold Improved, Yellow Supreme and Crown of Gold 
listed on this page have odorless foliage.

ange but a definite improvement in flower size and per- 
centage of doubles. Tr. pkt., 35e3 %4 0z., 65e3 1 0z., $2.00.
