CELOSIA “Gilbert's Maple Gold" 
This new variety is the loveliest of all cristata—coxcomb—creations and 
is the result of 18 years of line breeding. The maple-pink heads vary in color 
from light to dark pink, tipped with pure gold. These ciusters may be cut at 
any stage and size and used in any arrangement from corsages to funeral 
sprays as the heads will last 3 or 4 days cut of water. The individual plants, 
which are of the strong branching type, grow 2-3 feet high.

MARIGOLD “Flash” (Silver Medal A.A.S. 1945) 
The most striking French marigold to date. Plants, uniform and compact 
in habit of growth, develop into bushy colorful mounds averaging 18 in. 
in height. The single flowers measure 1% in. and more across. A combina- 
tion of colors—ranging from vivid red through bronze with a few yellow 
flowers on the same plant, giving a rich and bizarre effect. An early and 
continuous bloomer throughout the season. Very useful for border and bed- 
ding use, and as a cut-flower for low flower arrangements.

MARIGOLD “Mammoth Mum” 
A large incurved chrysanthemum-flowered Marigold and a close rival 
to the big Japanese Chrysanthemum. Bushy, strong, erect plants reach 3 ft. 
by August, when long-stemmed flowers appear to amaze one with huge 
blooms, 4-5 in. across and 2 in. deep; color is rich lemon-yellow. Flowering 
from August until freezing weather, it makes a colorful show in the garden 
and gives long-lasting cut flowers. (Honorable Mention A.A.S. 1944).
