CALENDULA OFFICINALIS CHRYSANTHA 
We believe this new and entirely distinct development of the Calendula orig¬ 
inated in Australia. It so strikingly resembles a yellow Chrysanthemum that 
visitors, on approaching a large batch growing for seed at Histon, almost invari¬ 
ably exclaimed “Are they Chrysanths ?” The obvious name was “Chrysantha.” 
As will be seen from the photograph, the large double flowers are of beau¬ 
tiful form and borne on exceptionally long stout stems, while the petals are long, 
broad and drooping, (as in Chrysanthemums), giving the flower a globular outline. 
Owing to its pleasing buttercup-yellow color, its remarkably distinct and 
informal shape and great length of stem, Chrysantha will be found ideal for 
market work and interior decorations. It is without shadow of doubt, THE 
Calendula for cutting, a Novelty which must not be overlooked. Height 2 to 214 
feet. Seed per pkt. 15c, x /\ oz. 25c, ! /2 oz. 40c.
