MARIGOLD—Continued 
Marigold 
GILL’S “NEVER BEFORE” (See Front 
Cover)—Our new 1949 Introduction. A 
remarkable advance in African Mari- 
golds. Never before such new and un- 
usual forms. Never before so many 
new shades and colors. Never before 
such remarkable freedom from_ the 
strong marigold odor. A leading florist 
remarked: “You have changed the Mar1- 
gold so that with these new colors and 
forms we can use them extensively for 
general florist use.” 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 lght 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. 
In order to include new forms and colors 
some smaller types are included in our 
selections. Many flowers in this strain 
are fragrant and the common strong 
marigold odor is generally absent. The 
vigorous plants often stand 4 to 6 feet 
tall with branching habits and loaded 
with blooms. Each year we make new 
and better selections. Be sure to include 
these wonderful marigolds in your order. 
More of the lighter shades are included 
in the seed offered this year. Pkt. 35c; 
1/16 oz. $1.00; 44 oz. $3.00; oz. $8.50.
