CALENDULA 



Henderson's Superior Double Strains 



The Calendulas of grandmother's garden were familiarly known by the old-fashioned 

 name of Pot Marigolc; by which name they were known since the days of Shake- 

 speare. 



Although the old-fashioned Calendulas were highly prized for their ease of 

 culture and extremely free blooming qualities, the flowers were small and single, and 

 could in no way be compared to the wonderful double varieties which we offer today. 



The Calendula thrives almost anywhere. It is equally as much at home in poor 

 sandy soil as in heavy soil. For the gardener with limited garden space, there is no 

 annual that can be more effective, as it blooms profusely all during the summer into 

 late fall, thereby producing an uninterrupted supply_ of flowers for table decoration. 

 The odor of the Calendula, while ndt exactly sweet, is wholesome and agreeable. \ 



The populai-ity of this beautiful flower has been greatly advanced by the commercial 

 florists, who grow hun<lreds of thousands of them in their greenhouses during the winter 

 and outdoors during the summer months to supply the demand of the retail cutflower 

 trade. 



Henderson's Improved Calendulas form bushy plants one foot high by one foot in 

 diameter, and are literally covered with the large showy double flowers. _ Our seed has 

 been saved from only the largest and most perfect flowers in shape, size, depth and 

 color. (See engramng.)
