DOUBLE MARIGOLDS 
form and color. 
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 
x 
Cupid Marigolds are 10 
2 to 22 in. across. 
NEW CUPID MARIGOLDS

duced close to the rich green foliage. Our

sown outdoors early in June. 10 in.
