There are a great many Marigolds—even this list does 
not contain them all. Probably no seedsman wants to 
carry them all, but each variety has its specialized use, 
which is why we list so many. We assemble extensive test 
data on the new ones, and have indicated below the vari- 
eties we suggest for any well balanced list. 
They are classified by size and type, and (in the French 
group) by plant height. Especially good cutflowers are 
marked f. The abbreviation (A.M. or H.C., R.H.S.'48) means 
an award from the British Royal Horticultural Society. These 
awards are made to any one species only about once 
every ten years and are for a superior strain of a standard 
trade variety. Bodger Marigolds won more awards in '48 
than those of any other American grower.
