The Latin word calemhe, signifying the first 
day of every month, is believed to be the origin 
of the name Calendula, a word that is intended as 
an allusion to the constant flowering of the species 
to which it was first applied. 
This Calendula has usually been cultivated as a 
greenhouse plant; but, with its roots confined in 
a pot, it has seldom been seen flowering in that 
profuse, and luxuriant manner, which are its 
characteristics in the open ground. Its flowers 
are large, of a fine pale orange colour, and they 
continue long without fading. It well deserves 
that which it will require, which is, to he taken 
into an inhabited room during winter, 
The plants may be taken up from the borders 
in autumn, put into pots, and placed in their win- 
ter quarters ; where a little water should be given 
them occasionally. If young plants are required 
from cuttings, they should be struck in the spring, 
in a hotbed. In May, the plants may be again 
turned out of their pots, into the open ground, 
where the soil should be made light and rich, and 
they will flower luxuriantly.
