Burpee Finalizes 56 Year Hunt for White Marigold
David Burpee pays $10,000 to Mrs. Alice Vonk of Sully Iowa for seeds that led to the white marigold, tested in Burpee’s seed trials near Santa Paula California with judges Dr. James Boodley and Dr. Vernon Stoutemeyer. The search began in 1920 and involved nearly 1 000 entries in a quest to expand marigold colors. Calendulas are recommended now for summer color and cut flowers as gardeners wait for new color breakthroughs.
