2082 CALCEOLARIA (Pouch Flower) (House Culture) 
A most interesting- and beautiful pot-plant for the green¬ 
house. It is a native of Peru, which, with proper care, will 
grow into fine large bushes with many showy pocket-like 
flowers of various colors. Some of the flowers are beautifully 
spotted and tigered, others are self-colored in yellow or red. 
They are greatly admired. Sow the very small seeds carefully 
in a box containing a rather sandy leafmold mixture. Moisten 
the soil before sowing and cover with a pane of glass to 
prevent too rapid evaporation. Transplant and keep growing 
in a moist air registering 42 to 48 degrees Fahrenheit. Hybrula 
Grandiflora, Finest Mixed. Pkt„ (1300 Seed), 25 cts. 
2080 BUTTERFLY FLOWER 
Schizanthus (Poor Man’s Orchid) 
This is one of the daintiest of annuals. 
The seed germinates readily and in a few 
weeks the plant is a mass of small but 
bright flowers in a bewildering range of 
colors, all blotched and marked in con¬ 
trasting shades. The foliage is delicate 
and fern like. It may be sown in spring 
for garden decoration or may- be seeded in 
fall in pots in the conservatory or house 
for spring blooming. Hybrids, Finest 
Mixed. Pkt. (1800 Seed), 10 cts.; % oz.,

CALENDULA—Scotch Marigold 
These are easily grown annuals, retaining their fresh appearance 
even during the hottest weather. Contrary to most other plants. 
Calendula can be transplanted up to the time the flowers begin to open. 
They grow well and bloom freely even if planted between stones or 
trash heaps, whether located in the sun or in the shade. If the seed 
is sown at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks, flowers may be had all the year 
around provided of course that for winter blooming the plants are 
taken up in the fall, planted in pots, and placed in the house near 
a sunny window. 
2085 Orange King 
Perhaps the best known oi all Calendulas. It is a 
magnificent flower, growing to enormous size, and is 
outstanding because of its rich orange-yellow color. 
The flowers are well rounded and fully double to the 
center. They are made up of enormous broad sub¬ 
stantial petals. Our improved strain of Orange King 
is particularly free flowering. The long-stemmed blooms 
are very fine for cutting, lasting a long time in water. 
Pkt. (300 seed), 10 cts.; % oz., 25 cts. 
2086 Meteor 
An excellent variety with large flowers. The individual 
petals are arranged shinglelike, curving inward in the 
center. Grown under average conditions the flowers 
never show an open center except after they have passed 
their prime. The bushes make a fine compact growth 
about 15 to 18 inches tall. 
The rich green foliage forms a fine background to 
the gaily colored flowers. 
Each individual flower petal has broad, showy stripes 
of brilliant orange set against a creamy white ground. 
This combination of color is most charming and un¬ 
usual. Meteor is very free-blooming and lasts a long 
time in water. Pkt. (300 seed), 10 jets.; *4 oz., 35 cts. 
2087 Lemon Queen 
A lovely companion to Orange King, with flowers 
of equally large size. The color is an intense rich 
lemon-yellow of great brilliancy. Blooms very freely 
and is by far the best lemon Calendula in existence
