GROWING CALENDULAS. 



Kindly ad\ise me how and when to 

 jilant calendula seed in order to have 

 ilowers Thanksgiving dav. 



T. I", s. -I'a. 



The seed is sown as early as July 1 

 fur the main crop. The seeds should be 

 placed twelve or fourteen inches apart 

 ill a rich, deep soil, and a temperature 

 of about •"»n degrees should be main- 

 tained. For fertilizer any balanced 

 manure will s^ive the purpose. Early- 

 sown calendulas have been grown until 

 (liristmas in a north bench almost com- 

 pletely sliaded by sweet peas. The onb- 

 re(|iiirements are two feet of head room 

 anil a dee]! solid or ground bed. A raised 

 IhihIi will grow good flowers, but does 

 not iiroduce the strong growth required 

 tor long stems unless strong rorcjug Is 

 resoited to.
