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 
combinations, and the Dwarf French type are showy 
for bedding. 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. 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 with- 
out sufficient growth. 
BALL FIVE BEST 
The following five 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. 
*Ball Giant Orange. Similar in type to All Double 
Orange but a definite improvement in flower size and 
deeper orange color. Tr. pkt., 35e3 4 02., 65e3 1 02., 
$2.00. 
*All Double Orange. This belongs to the Fistulosa or 
large flowered, solid quilled-petal type. Produces 
nearly 100% double flowers, being preferred to Prince 
of Orange on this account. An excellent, long- 
stemmed cut flower strain. 
*All Double Lemon. Identical to the above strain, 
but a clear lemon yellow. 
*Gold Improved. The popular carnation flowered 
bright orange with odorless foliage. Excellent for 
greenhouse forcing. 
*Yellow Supreme. Similar to Gold Improved but 
with flowers a rich lemon yellow. Odorless foliage. 
Five Best Mixture. Our own carefully compounded 
formula mixture of the above varieties balanced ac- 
cording to their commercial value.
