Our Favorite Four—From top to bottom: Pygmy, 
Butterball, Spry and Sunkist. 
Naughty Marietta 
All-America Winner for 1947 
3434 —Since its introduction in ’47, this lively 
addition to the French Marigolds is one of the 
most popular. Uniform plants produce 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 flower alone or 
with either French or large flowering varieties.

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. 
This new large flowered, dwarf Marigold, Cupid, 
has to be seen to be believed.
