KING CALENDULAS

orange red variety, producing flowers over 3 inches in diameter.

PouBLE Blue Cornflower 



King Calendulas 



CHINESE WOOLFLOWER 



(Celosia Childsi) 



This is a unique form of the feathered Cockscomb, 

 growing 2 to 3 feet high, by as much through, each 

 branch terminated with a large head of flowers that 

 look as if made out of some silky wool material, and 

 which is nicely shown in our illustracion. Not only 

 effective in beds or borders, but highly interesting and 

 valuable for cutting, as they can be dried, and retain 

 their bright color for weeks. We offer two colors: 



1865 Crimson. Very rich color. 



1864 Pink. A pretty shade of salmony-pink. 



Price of either, 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts. for 25 cts. 



DOUBLE CORNFLOWERS 



1881 Double Blue. This was introduced by us some years ago and 

 has steadily gained in popular favor, until now it must be consid- 

 ered one of the leading annuals. It is identical in color to the 

 popular single blue' Cornflower, which is so much in demand for 

 cutting, especially for buttonieres, but, being a full, double 



flower, it takes fewer of them to make a nice bunch, and it is better in 



every way. The plants form nice symmetrical bushes about 18 inches 



high. 15 cts. per pkt.; 40 cts. per i oz. 



Double Rose-Pink. After several years of careful selection we have 



succeeded in securing a stock of this which reproduces itself almost true. 



The flowers are quite double, and of an attractive clear rose-pink, a color 



that is always in demand both in the garden and for cutting. 15 cts. per 



pkt.; 40 cts. per J oz. 

 1883 Double White. This has all the good qualities of the Blue and Rose 



sorts, but is pure white, and when cut mixes nicely with the other colors. 



15 cts. per pkt.; 40 cts.' per J oz. 

 1890 Double Mixed. Contains some each of the above three as well as other 



colors. 10 cts. per pkt.; 50 cts. per oz.
