Crow Some Calendulas in Pots for Winter Color in the House 

 FER RY'S SEEDS 



Scarlet. 



CACALIA (Tassel Flower) [hA-18 in.] The home gardener 

 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 brushes dipped in scarlet 

 paint. It makes a vivid spot in the border. 



.i^oz. 25c; pkt. 10c 



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

 this ornamental vine makes an admirable showine through 

 the simamer season. The clusters of tubular flowers are a 

 brilliant orange and contrast well with the delicate green 

 fohage. It requires a sunny situation, and if started early 

 under glass and later transplanted it will flower the same 

 year J^ oz. 60c; pkt. 10c 



CALCEOLARIA, Hybrida [tP-18 in.] These fantastic pouch- 

 shaped flowers are beautifully varied in their coloring and 

 marking, their light backgrounds being curiously splashed 

 or spotted with rich maroon or brown. The strain we ofi'er 

 is suitable only for greenhouse or indoor culture except 

 where the climate is very mild. 



Grandiflora, Tigered and Spotted Mixed Pkt. 25c 



Buddleia 



These Lavender-Blue Blossoms will Add Beauty and Valus to 

 Your September Garden 



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 imtil frost. 

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

 ing up from the roots the following spring. 



Variabilis Veitchiana Pkt. 10c 



Bugle Vine (See CalampeHs) 

 Buttercup (See Ranunculus) 

 Butterfly Bush (See Buddleia) 

 Butterfly Wild Flower (See Asclepias) 



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 briUiant 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-hke double flowers. They 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 C)range 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 hemis- 

 pherical in shape with bristling quilled petals which add 

 materially to the grace of the blossoms. Their color is a 

 glowing rich orange. 



Any one of the above: 34 oz. 50c; pkt. 15c 



Lemon Queen A reliable variety supplying large blossoms 

 of clear lemon yellow. It has long been a standard Calen- 

 dula, but Ball's Gold is now superseding it. 



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 suit- 

 able for garden cultiu-e. The flowers are borne abundantly 

 on sturdy compact plants. 



Each of the above: % oz. 35c; pkt. 10c 



Mixed Many varieties in a well blended mixture which is 

 very briUiant Oz. 35c; pkt. 10c
