Remove the fading Flowers from Calendula plants, and you 



will have plenty of blossoms all summer. This is Orange 



King, one of the most reliable varieties. 



BUDDLEIA (Butterfly Bush or Summer Lilac) [hP-3 to 8 ft.] 

 When once it has been tried, this plant becomes an essen- 

 tial as a background in many gardens. The long flower 

 spikes taper like those of the true lilac, and they are quite 

 similar in color. The blossoms are sweetly fragrant, and 

 they bloom continuously from late summer until frost. 

 In Northern latitudes the plant dies dowm in winter, start- 

 ing up from the roots the following spring.

CACALIA (Tassel Flower) [hA-18in.] Home gardeners 



enjoy these choice plants, for the flowers are partic- 

 ularly adapted to cutting because of their long, wiry 

 stems. The blossoms are like little brushes dipped 

 in scarlet paint. They bloom from June to frost.

CALENDULA (Pot Marigold) [hA-18 in.] This old 

 favorite has few rivals for being the showiest annual 

 in the garden, or as a cut flower. In most climates 

 it blooms all summer if the seed pods are kept off, 

 but the brilliant flowers are particularly valuable 

 in late fall. In California it lives up to its name 

 and spans the calendar. The bushy plants with 

 their dense green leaves bear large disc-like double 

 flowers. Thej' thrive even in poor soil and require 

 little care. Calendulas, besides being so popular 

 for open air culture, are of great merit for forcing 

 by florists who appreciate their value for winter use. 



Ball's Gold (Florists' Strain) Fully double golden 

 yellow flowers of extra size. Very long stems and 

 extreme vigor make this Calendula an ideal variety 

 for forcing. It is also desirable for growing outdoors 

 when the season is fairly cool. 



Ball's Orange Improved (Florists' Strain) 

 Perhaps the best known and most popular 

 of all forcing varieties. It is larger flowered 

 and longer stemmed than Orange 

 King, but the color is slightly lighter, 

 and the plant does not withstand 

 hot weather quite so well. 



Radio This novel development of form 

 in Calendulas has been received with 

 much favor. The flowers are hemi- 

 spherical in shape with bristling quil- 

 led petals which add materially to 

 the grace of the blossoms. Their color 

 is a glowing rich orange.

Sunshine (Chr\-santha) This is an out- 

 standing new Calendula with Chrysan- 

 themum-shaped flowers of bright golden 

 yellow. The long clean stems make them espe- 

 cially good for cutting. . . . M oz. 50c; pkt. 10c 



Lemon Queen A reliable variety supplying large 

 blossoms of clear lemon yellow. It has long 

 been a standard Calendula. The flowers are 

 smaller than those of Ball's Gold, but more 

 resi-stant to sun H oz. 35c; pkt. 10c 



Orange King An extra select stock producing 

 magnificent flowers of a deep orange color. 

 They resist hot sun better than the florist's types, and 

 therefore they are more suitable for garden culture. The 

 flowers are borne abundantly on sturdy compact plants.
