TWO DRY-WEATHER PLANTS
FRENCH AND AFRICAN MARIGOLDS There are many attractive summer flowering plants, but for long flowering and extreme tardiness nothing can compare with marigolds. They remain in bloom for months on end and retain a great wealth of flower for little attention. African marigolds may be planted at once in practically any position. They grow about three to four feet in height and should be set out three feet apart. They are rapid but \ fo J } h ® first few weeks must be protected from the slugs and snails who invariably prefer these for supper f rench marigolds are excellent subjects for borders or bedding in masses. They grow about nine inches high and range from yellow to all shades of bronze and gold-striped varieties. They should be planted about eight inches apart fo.r borders or when used for massed effects six inches. This variety can be set until April next, as they come into flower within a few weeks of planting.
