CALENDULA CALANDRINIA CALAMPELIS. 16T 



CALENDULA. 



Calejidula. So named because it may be found in flowei 

 during the calends of each month, or, which is the same thing 1 ,

Calendula offici?ialis. Pot Marigold. A hardy annual,

 never fail to give ample satisfaction. To have it in its greatest 

 perfection, the seed should be planted in pots, and placed in a 

 hot-bed early in the spring. In June the plants should be turned 

 into the ground. The soil should be a rich sandy loam.

FORMERLY ECREMOCARPUS. 



Calampelis scaber. Rough-podded Calampelis. This is 

 a beautiful climber, a perennial, but flowers the first year ; 

 not sufficiently hardy to stand our winters. Its flowers are 

 produced in panicles or racemes, and are of a bright orange 

 color; it flowers profusely the latter part of summer. It
