CALENDULA CALANDRINIA CALAMPELIS. 167 



CALENDULA. 



Calendula. So named because it may be found in flower 

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

 during every month of the year. This cannot be the case in

 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.

FOKMEBLY 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
