TALL MARIGOLDS 
Many large flowering Marigolds which have been introduced in recent 
years have been too late in flowering, in areas with short summers, to be 
of much value in the Northeastern States. 
We offer the following varieties because they have produced an abun- 
dance of early bloom in our Test Gardens and are most attractive both in 
form and color. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM TYPE 
If you want earlier blooming, large flowering 
Marigolds, Happiness and Honeycomb will 
“fill the bill.’”” They produce such an abundance 
of large flowers that the plants are completely 
covered with color from early August until 
frost.

santhemum-flowered blooms 3/’ in diameter. 
Plants 16” tall.

3439—Honeycomb. Similar to Happiness in 
size, earliness and profusion of bloom, but 
the color is vivid orange and the petals are 
so arranged that the effect is that of a honey- 
comb. 18’.

to 4 ft. tall. Earlier bloom is possible if the seed 
is started early indoors.
