MARIGOLDS—Continued 
GILL’S “NEVER BEFORE” (See illus- 
tration inside back cover)—A great ad- 
vance in African Marigolds. Never be- 
fore such new and unusual 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 
Marigold so that with these new colors 
and forms we car 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 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. 
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. 25c;
