Planning an Old Fashioned 



Brazilian Morning Glory (See Ipomoea) 



BROWALLIA [hA-1 ft.] A plant which can be used both in the 

 border and to decorate an inside window garden is sure 

 to be a special favorite. This one blooms profusely out- 

 doors in summer and autumn even in hot dry weather, 

 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 sparkling 

 white centers.

This new "Sunshine" Calendula is meeting the approval 

 of gardeners everywhere. 



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 down in winter, start- 

 ing up from 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 like brushes dipped in scarlet 

 paint. It makes a vivid spot in the border.

CALAiyiPELIS, Scabra (Bugle Vine) [tP-C-6 ft] On a trellis 

 this ornamental vine makes an admirable showing through 

 the summer season. The clusters of tubular flowers are a 

 brilhant 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.] 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 offer 

 is suitable only 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 

 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 hemispherical in shape with bristling quilled 



petals which add materially to the grace of the blossoms. 



Their color is a glowing rich orange.

Sunshine (Chrysantha) An outstanding new Calendula 

 with Chrysanthemum-shaped flowers of bright golden 



yellow. (For further description see page 50.)

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 sturd}' compact plants.
