MARIGOLDS 
One of the most satisfactory and easily grown annuals, showing its decorative flowers from midsummer 
until late fall. Sow seed outdoors in May or indoors in March and transplant, allowing ample room 
for development. Caution—avoid heavy manuring, too much water, and crowding plants closely. 
SMALL-FLOWERED VARIETIES 
These are the varieties which make such interesting, colorful dwarf beds. They are also valuable for small pot- 
plants and for this should be started in January and grown in a warm temperature. For bedding plants start 
the seed indoors in March, and for outdoor culture sow in the garden in May, thinning to stand 1 foot apart.
