Calendula, Ball's Gold 



BROWALLIA [hA-1 ft.] An unusual plant deserving popu- 

 laritj' for bedding and winter decoration. It blooms pro- 

 fusely outdoors in the summer and autumn while as a 

 house plant it blossoms well throughout the winter. The 

 graceful pyramidal plants with dark green leaves produce 

 upright stalks adorned with many star-shaped flowers. 

 These are a rare, intense blue with sparkhng white centers. 

 Speciosa Major (Blue) Pkt. 25c 



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



This handsome flowering shrub makes a very effective 

 showing as a garden background. The long spikes, resem- 

 bling those of the Lilac, are tapering and formed of a dense 

 mass of small tubular florets in a lovely shade of mauve 

 lilac. In northern latitudes the plant dies down in winter, 

 starting up from the roots the following spring.

 will enjoy these choice plants for the flowers are particu- 

 larly adapted to cutting because of their long and wiry 

 stems. The blossoms are like showy brushes dipped in

CALAMPELIS (Bugle Vine) [tP-C-6 ft.] On a treUis 

 this ornamental vine makes an admirable showing 

 through the summer season. The clusters of tubular 

 flowers are a brilliant orange and contrast well with 

 the delicate green foliage. It requires a sunny situa- 

 tion and if started early under glass and later trans- 

 planted will flower the same year.

CALANDRINIA [hP-R-6 in.] Clusters of 



small vivid crimson-violet flowers make 



this trailing plant most effective in the 



sunny rock garden or low border. The 



brilliant blossoms appear in rapid succes- 



" \ ■ sion during the summer. This plant does 



) not stand moving so the seeds should be 



^ sown in the open ground in light soil 



where they are to remain. 



> Umbellata Pkt. 10c 



CALCEOLARIA [tP-18in.] This universally 

 admired species bears bizarre pouch- 

 shaped flowers in great profusion. They 

 are beautifully varied in their coloring and marking 

 with light backgrounds curiously splashed or spotted 

 with rich maroon or brown. The strain we offer is 

 only suitable for greenhouse or indoor culture except 

 where the climate is very mild. 



Hybrida Grandiflora, 

 Tigered and Spotted Mixed Pkt. 25c 



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

 favorite has few rivals for being the most useful and 

 showiest annual for the garden, or as a cut flower. 

 In most climates it blooms all summer but the bril- 

 liant flowers are particularly valuable in late fall, 

 while in California it lives up to its name and spans 

 the calendar. The bushy plants with their hand- 

 some green leaves bear large disc-like very double 

 flowers. They thrive even in poor soil and require 

 very little care. Calendulas, besides being so pop- 

 ular for open air culture, are of great merit for 

 forcing by florists who appreciate their value for 

 winter use. 



Ball's Gold (Florists' Strain) Handsome golden yellow flow- 

 ers; erect habit with long stems; excellent for forcing; and 

 desirable in the garden. 



Ball's Orange (Florists' Strain) Beautiful well formed blooms 

 of a scintillating orange color borne on erect plants with 

 long stems. A favorite with florists but equally good grown 

 in the open. 



Radio This novel development of form in Calendulas has 

 been received with much favor. The flowers are globular 

 in shape with bristling quilled petals which add materially 

 to the grace of the blossoms. Their color is a deep rich 

 orange.
