With the introduction of the following Burpee varieties, more 
gardeners are planting single flowered marigolds than ever before 
because they are far superior to old-fashioned kinds—flowers are 
larger and richer colored; plants are earlier and more profuse 
blooming. For a striking display in beds, borders and edg- 
ings, the single French Marigolds are hard to beat. Nice for 
cutting. Height variesfrom 1 to2 ft. depending on variety.
