Single and Double 
DWARF MARIGOLDS 
Blooming from early summer until long after the first frosts the 
dwarf Marigolds are the most dependable of annuals. Seed may be 
sown outdoors as soon as the soil warms up. 
Plant them in front of foundation plantings of shrubs, along drive- 
ways, in clumps in perennial borders—wherever there is full sunlight. 
All of them are useful in flower arrangements.

Spry has a crested bright yellow center sur- 
rounded by mahogany guard petals. 
Harmony

bushy plant is only one foot tall, and, from 
early in the summer until late fall, it is a mass 
of large, bright, full-double flowers. The center 
of each flower is a brilliant golden yellow bor- 
dered with a deep mahogany brown.

Naughty Marietta 
All-America Winner for 1947

addition to the French Marigolds is one of the 
most popular. Plants are uniformly 15’ tall 
producing masses of single blooms 2’ across. 
The warm yellow petals are marked at the base 
with a spot of rich mahogany. Excellent as a cut
