-Burpee’s Tall African Marigolds 
A wealth of color in the garden all summer and fall unequaled by any other flower. Easy to grow in ordinary garden 
loam but give the best results in a fairly rich medium one; be sure to plant in a sunny location. Remarkable diversity

All are lovely for cutting, the flowers keeping in fine condition tor a long time.
