Marigold 
GILL’S “NEVER BEFORE”—Our new 
1949 Introduction. A remarkable advance 
in African Marigolds. Never before such 
new and unusual forms. Never before so 
many new shades and colors. Never be- 
fore such remarkable freedom from the 
strong marigold odor. A leading florist 
remarked: “You have changed the Mari- 
gold so that with these new colors and 
forms we can use them extensively for 
weddings and bouquets.” Strong vigorous 
plants, loaded with large blooms on 
strong stems. Without disbudding, irri- 
gation or special fertilizing we grew 
many flowers 5 to 6 inches in diameter. 
The seed is offered in a blend of colors 
ranging from light lemon to deepest 
orange, including many types with wide 
loose petals, often quilled, cupped or 
twisted in formation. With disbudding, 
irrigation and extra fertilizing, blooms 8 
inches in diameter can be grown from 
some types and with long erect stems. 
Many flowers in this strain are fragrant 
and the common strong marigold odor is 
generally absent. Here is your chance to 
be among the first to grow this outstand- 
ing new marigold. The vigorous plants 
stand 3 to 4 feet high with branching 
habit. Last season we made new selec- 
tions resulting in a better blend than last 
year. Pkt. 35c; 1/16 oz. $1.25; 4 oz. $3.75.
