PLANTING LIST 323 



cabbages when heavy frosts come, and store in a dry cool place, 

 after picking off all outer or sickly leaves. 



If club-root gets into the patch, do not plant any of the cabbage 

 family (Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, turnip) in the garden for 

 three years. If leaf diseases attack the plants, burn the leaves. 



Calendula (Pot Marigold or Scotch Marigold) : A hardy annual 

 flowering plant, whose blossoms (in all shades of yellow) come from 

 summer till heavy frosts, if regularly picked. The plant grows 

 about a foot tall, and is used to make masses of color in the border, 

 as well as for picking. Sow under glass about the first of April, 

 outdoors a month later, and thin or transplant to stand a foot apart. 

 Seedlings under glass do best if potted. 



California Poppy, or Eschscholtzia : A perennial, usually treated 

 as a hardy annual, is a plant of thin bluish foliage, bearing many 

 yellow flowers which, if regularly picked off, come all summer and 

 even after light frosts. It is a very popular garden plant. Sow 

 the seed very shallow, and as early as possible, and thin to about 

 a foot apart. If transplanted, much earth should be taken with 

 the root. Toward the south the plants will often live over winter. 

 Seed sown as soon as ripe will give plants which, if lightly mulched, 

 will live over winter and give very early flowers. 



Calliopsis, see Coreopsis. 



Campanula, see Canterbury Bell. 



Candytuft : A very useful hardy flowering plant which comes in 

 both annual and perennial forms, and in various colors, but which 

 is most popular in its annual white variety, which is commonly used 

 in masses and edgings. It is low and bushy, bearing many flower- 

 heads which almost hide the foliage. There are also pink and red 

 varieties. The flowers are attractive in the house, and should be 

 regularly cut if the bloom is to continue. Sow out of doors in April, 

 where the plants are to stand, and thin to about 9 inches. The soil 

 should be rich and moist if possible, but the plant does well almost 

 anywhere. For continual bloom, sow again in May and June. 



Perennial candytuft is an evergreen plant, easily grown from 

 seed. Sow in spring, thin or transplant in June to 9 inches apart,
