KILIMANJARO WHITE #FL473<br />
We finally have added a unique white marigold; this variety has<br />
lovely 2” creamy-white blooms that really stand out in a crowd. White<br />
marigolds were long in the making; in fact, Burpee Seed Company<br />
spent 56 years of searching and breeding before finding success.<br />
After years of trying, David Burpee offered $10,000 to the first home<br />
gardener who sent in the right seeds to help make a real white<br />
variety; thousands of gardeners responded for years. One lady, Alice<br />
Vonk of Sully, Iowa, sent seeds for 21 years, and in 1975, Burpee<br />
awarded her the coveted prize for her work—after the company had<br />
spent 56 years and $250,000 testing during the contest years. Now<br />
there are several white varieties, including this beauty. Pkt (30 seeds)<br />
$3.00<br />
LEGION OF HONOR #FL908 New!<br />
Dwarf charmer reaches only 12": ideal for the front of the bed or<br />
border! Single flowers of clear sunny gold with clean lines present<br />
a very neat appearance, accentuated by the restrained brown to<br />
maroon blotch that embellishes each ray petal near the flowers’<br />
centers. Introduced about 150 years ago. Different and very pretty!<br />
