FERRY'S SEEDS 



Calendula, Orange King 



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 porthem latitudes the plant dies down in winter, start- 

 ing upjfrom the roots the following spring.

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 hke showy brushes dipped in 

 scarlet paint. It makes a vivid spot ia the border.

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

 this ornamental vine makes an admirable show ing 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 situation, and if started early 

 under glass and later transplanted it will flower the same 

 year ^ oz. 60c; pkt. 10c 



CALCEOLARIA, Hybrida [tP-18 in.] This universally ad- 

 mired species bears fantastic pouch-shaped flowers in great 

 , profusion. They are beautifully varied in their coloring and 

 . marking, their light backgrounds being curiously splashed 

 or spotted with rich maroon or brown. The strain we offer 

 is oQly suitable for greenhouse or indoor culture except 

 where the climate is very mild.

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. 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 ertreme 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 hemis- 

 pherical in shape with bristling quilled petals which add 

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

 glowing rich orange.

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 culture. The flowers are borne abundantly 

 on sturdy compact plants. 



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



Mixed Many varieties in a well blended mixture which is 

 very briUiant Oz. 35c; pkt. 10c
