34. Annual Flower Seeds 

Marigold, Sunset Giants 
Marigolds 
Marigolds, as a family, offer you a great deal for 
your money. You can be sure of plenty of flowers 
from July on through to frost. They come in every 
size and a wide range of colors including gold, 
yellow, orange, mahogany and brown, so they 
fit into many color schemes when used as cut- 
flowers indoors. They start easily in the garden 
from seed or may be started indoors in flats. 
The new kinds that have been developed recent- 
ly, are really novel and distinct and we can hearti- 
ly recommend them to you.
