CALENDULA 
CHRYSANTHA OR

Chrysantha is a new Cal¬

among all varieties known 
up to the present time. 
Many improvements have 
been made on Calendulas, 
but no origination can begin 
to compare with this lovely 
new-comer from far-off Aus¬ 
tralia. The large flowers are 
an exquisite shade of clear 
buttercup yellow, with long 
loosely arranged petals, 
which droop to give the 
rounded appearance found in our favorite Chrysanthe¬ 
mums. Besides adding a bright golden splash of color 
to the garden, Chrysantha is a fine cutting variety, 
with long stiff stems, well adapted to combine with 
other flowers, such as blue delphinium, in bowls or 
vases. Pkt. 15c. 
CALENDULA GOLDEN RADIO 
The Calendula is becoming one of our most in¬ 
teresting plant families, with the wide variety of

intriguing of the many forms is the type known as 
Radio, first appearing in the orange variety, and now 
Golden Radio has been developed as a companion 
form. The color is a bright golden yellow, in the 
characteristically quilled petals of the flower which 
comes true to both type and color. Pkt. 10c.

flower types. Especially adapted for border use, the 
stems are long enough to use the flowers for cutting 
also . Pkt. 10c.
