Profitable Marigolds 
(10,000 seeds per oz.) 
Modern plant breeders have almost done miracles 
with this old favorite. Today there are varieties 
which make excellent cut flowers (many without 
that characteristic Marigold odor), several that are 
outstanding as pot plants, or fit well into combina- 
tion boxes—while nearly all the dwarf and medium 
types make a wonderful bedding show. Most Mari- 
golds are easily flowered indoors in April and May 
from a January or February sowing. When grown 
under glass they must not be checked, especially 
by low temperature. This will result in buds being 
formed without sufficient growth. 
FIVE BEST FOR CUTTING 
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 somewhat larger flowered and of a more uniform 
deep, bright orange color. This, in our opinion, is the 
most profitable cut flower variety on the list. Tr. pkt., 
35cm 40z seo DCm lmOzeE D200. 
*AIl 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 intense 
orange with odorless foliage. Excellent for greenhouse forc- 
ing. 
“Yellow Supreme. Similiar to Gold Improved but with flowers 
a rich creamy yellow. Odorless foliage. 
Five Best Mixture. Our own carefully compounded formula mix- 
ture of the above varieties balanced according to their com- 
mercial value.
