Brazilian Morning Glory (See Ipomoea) 



BROWALLIA [hA-lft.] 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.

When srown under right conditions the blossoms of this 

 graceful Calendula, Sunshine, are large and abundant. 



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-18in.] Home gardeners enjoy 

 these choice plants, for the flowers are particularly adapted 

 to cutting because of their long, wiry stems. The blos- 

 soms are like little brushes dipped in scarlet paint. They 

 bloom from June to frost.

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 par- 

 ticularly 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. Calen- 

 dulas, besides being so popular for open air cul- 

 ture, 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 Calen- 

 dulas 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) This is an outstanding new Calen- 

 dula with Chrysanthemum-shaped flowers of bright golden 

 yellow. The long clean stems make them especially good 

 for cutting M oz. 50c; pkt. 15c 



Lemon Queen A reliable variety supplying large blossoms 

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

 dula. The flowers are smaller than those of Ball's Gold, but 

 more resistant to sun Y^ oz. 35c; pkt. 10c 



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 H oz. 35c; pkt. 10c

 very brilliant Oz. 35c; pkt. 5c
