 Shaggy has the deepest flower 

 heads of all Calendulas. The 

 petals are quilled and deeply cut 

 on the ends, thereby giving the 

 flowers a very shaggy and artis- 

 tic appearance. It is this unique 

 formation that gives this Calen- 

 dula its name. 



The color of the flowers is a 

 bright clear yellow with a hghter 

 yellow center, which is nearly 

 covered by the mass of petals. 

 Flowers are borne on very long 

 stems; this, and the fact that 

 flowers are excellent keepers, 

 make them especially valuable 

 tor cutting. Plants grow 1,' 2 ft. 

 tall, showy in beds and borders.
