MARIGOLDS | 
poke Se re ote ry 
We try to list every variety of Mari- 
gold that has any real merit and have 
dropped old varieties that have been re- 
placed by newer and improved varieties. 
The AFRICAN MARIGOLDS are strong 
feeders requiring plenty of water, there- 
able section of your garden. Seeds may 
either be sown where the plants are to 
remain or they can be started indoors and 
transpfanted out in late May. Give the 
in most ‘cases 
about 3-ft. apart. : 
The FRENCH MARIGOLDS are very light 
feeders and require a limited amount of 
water; too strong feeding and» watering 
“will throw them to foliage at the expense 
of the flower; do. not fertilize this type. 
Seed can be started indoors, but as a rule 
better success will be had by planting the 
seeds early in May, where the plants are 
to remain, thinning them out to one plant. 
Marigolds are fairly hardy and therefore 
they should be planted rather early in 
the spring. There are many wonderful 
plants in both types that have been de- 
veloped recently and we will always offer 
the best as they are introduced and we 
especially urge every flower grower to 
try at least a half dozen Marigolds every 
year.
