Marigolds are easily grown from seed sown out doors, bloom early and 
continuously, a re-effective whether planted alone or with other flowers 
and are long lasting as cut flowers. The new varieties are a great im- 
provement over older ones and, when the darker colors are combined 
Harmony Marigold has a golden yellow crown 
and a deep mahogany border.
