 and varied assortment of colors. The plants are of 

 perfect form and fine substance. They are dwarf, 

 compact, and very free flowering. Calceolarias are 

 universal favorites for decorating the greenhouse or 

 conservatory and the beautiful pocket-like flowers 

 make it an ornamental plant hard to excel. This 

 strain is grown for us by a celebrated Scotch spe- 

 cialist and it is considered the finest in cultivation.

Calendula — Pot Marigold 



Tremendous strides have been made within the last 

 uecade in the development of Calendulas which now

 the so-called Florists' Strains have been particularly 

 selected and perfected for this purpose.
