Calendula, Ball’s Gold 
CALENDULA 
(Pot Marigold) 
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 particular¬ 
ly bright in late fall, continuing in bloom from early 
summer until killed by frost. Valuable also for pot 
cuture, blooming freely in winter and early spring.

Campfire. This enormous new variety, a brilliant or¬ 
ange with a scarlet sheen and full yellow center, 
does not show any of the dark center so objection¬ 
able in the modern Calendula. Equally worthy as a 
garden flower or as a forcing subject. Pkt. 25c, % 
oz. $1.00. 
Radio. Many new Calendulas have been introduced in 
recent years, but none has shown as distinct a break 
in the formation of the flower as is the case with 
Radio. The petals are beautifully quilled, giving an 
unusual appearance for a Calendula and adding 
much beauty. The deep orange flowers are very glo¬ 
bular and do not show the center until at a very ad¬ 
vanced stage. They are of medium size on stems of 
fairly good length. Pkt. 15c, % oz. 50c.
