The water spurned up by the paddle blades was the color of beer, and the smell of it was puzzlingly familiar. "Good old smell," said Nilssen, "isn't it? I see you snuffling. Trying to guess where you met it before, eh? We all do that when we first come. What about crushed marigolds, eh?" "Crushed marigolds it is." "Guess you'll get to know it better before you're through with your service here.
October though it was, the garden was still very sweet with dear, old-fashioned, unworldly flowers and shrubs sweet may, southern-wood, lemon verbena, alyssum, petunias, marigolds and chrysanthemums. A tiny brick wall, in herring-bone pattern, led from the gate to the front porch.
Soon she was in the lime-walk, the first yellow leaves crackling beneath her feet; then in the kitchen garden, where the apples shone dimly on the laden boughs, where sunflowers and dahlias and marigolds, tall white daisies and late roses the ghosts of their daylight selves dreamed and drooped under the moon; where the bees slept and only great moths were abroad.
Naomi had plucked three fowls and trussed them, and wrapping each in a white napkin, had packed them in her basket with a dozen and a half of eggs, a few pats of butter, and a nosegay or two of garden-flowers Sweet Williams, marigolds, and heart's-ease: for it was market-day at Tregarrick.

Cowslips and marigolds should be gathered dry, picked clean, dried in a cloth, and kept in paper bags. HESSIAN SOUP.
