One of the best and showiest free-flowering hardy annuals, growing in any good 
garden soil, producing a fine effect in beds or mixed borders. It is particularly bright 
in late fall, continuing in bloom from early summer until killed by frost. Valuable also 
for pot culture, blooming freely in winter and early spring. 1 ft.

Japanese chrysanthemum. The plants are vigorous, producing an unusual number 
of long-stemmed flowers which are very fine for cutting. This is a nice item to grow 
for road-side stand sale. J^joz. 35 cts.; 34 oz - 60 cts.; oz. SI.75; }4\b. $6.

modern Calendula. Equally worthy as a garden flower or as a forcing subject.

advanced stage. They are of medium size on stems of fairly good length. 34 oz - 30 cts.;
