TAGETES (Mexican Marigold) 


MARIGOLDS (Continued) 
MISSION GIANTS 
A new class of Marigolds of medium height with giant Chrysanthemum 
blooms. Plants grow about 18 inches high with a good amount of 
vigor, having a base branching habit producing 8 to 12 stems of 
excellent cutting length. An early blooming class about 2 weeks 
earlier than the African type. Blooms 4 to 5 inches in diameter form- 
ing an almost perfect ball. They remind one of an incurved type of 
Chrysanthemum. A real addition to the Marigold family.

Fire Cross. Single dwarf light orange, resembles Legion of Honor ex- 
cept that the yellow on outer edge of petals is a deeper golden shade. 
Also we find Fire Cross some earlier flowering and more compact. A 
valuable outdoor variety. 12 to 14 in. 
Legion of Honor. A well known dwarf single. The lemon-yellow in this 
variety contrasts brightly with the mahogany center. Both the above 
two dwarf singles are valuable for early flowering in small pots. 
Gnome. A fine variety for pots and edging. Large flowered golden 
yellow. Plants 6 inches tall and eight to ten inches in spread.

BURPEE RED AND GOLD HYBIRDS 
4 cross between African and French Marigolds. Tnese are the earliest 
of all Marigolds. Will flower in less than eight weeks from seed. The 
color varies with the season and the growth of the plants. At times it 
becomes pure yellow and at other times a bright rich mahogany red. 
The flowers are nearly three times the size of the largest French 
Double. They grow 1% ft. tall, 2 ft. wide and are literally covered 
with flowers at all times. Tr. Pkt......... 50c 
GIANT FLOWERED 
Gigantea Sunset Giants is a Novelty from California; it is said to have 
the largest known flowers in the “Marigold” group, averaging 5 inches 
and some flowers attaining a size of 7¥2 inches across. Instead of the 
usual ‘’Marigold” odor these flowers have a definitely sweet fragrance. 
This is a mixture ranging from deep orange through golden orange, 
deep golden yellow, light yellow, lemon yellow, and a delightful new 
shade of primrose. The strain comes from 60 to 65 per cent double. 
The plants are normally 3¥2 to 4 feet high, but under favorable con- 
ditions have been known to grow as much as 7 feet high. Excellent 
for cutting.

Gigantea Orange Sunset. The color is a deep, rich, lively orange, 
one of the most admired shades found in the Sunset Giants Mixture. 
The plants are strong growing, upright branching in habit, usually. 
about 3 feet tall, producing a heavy growth of foliage, and with 6 
to 8 heavy branches, each bearing 3 to 6 large flowers. Blooming 
commences about the first of August in most sections of the country, 
in late June in the southern states, and flowers can be depended on 
well before frost in any latitude. Orange Sunset has been tested and 
found to be a fine forcer in the greenhouse, and will come over 65 
per cent double.

Although Little Giants range in height from 10 to 15 inches, a fraction
