CHRYSANTHA (Gold Medal, All American Selections 
1934). Chrysantha is distinct in type, a new break in 
Calendulas which is outstanding among all varieties 
known up to the present time. The large double flowers 
are an exquisite shade of clear buttercup yellow, with 
long loosely arranged petals which droop somewhat to 
give the rounded appearance of a Chrysanthemum. 
Besides adding a bright golden splash of color to the 
garden, Chrysantha is remarkable for its long stiff stems, 
making it ideal for cutting. Pkt. 25c.
