Calendula Chrysantha 
CALENDULA CHRYSANTHA 
(Chrysanthemum-Flowered Calendula) 
Chrysantha (Chrysanthemum-Flowered Calendula) is a distinct 
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 appear¬ 
ance 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., 15c. 
California Giants Aster 
Giants of 
The enormous flow¬ 
ers, which often meas- 
«•<> • ure up to 6 inches in 
Calirorma diameter, are of the 
Ostrich Feather type, 
A el* At* with long, graceful 
petals attractively 
curled and twisted. 
The plants grow 2 to 3 feet tall and carry 
their flowers on fine long stems. Due to 
the size of the blossoms there are fewer 
to each plant, and they are about two 
weeks later than our Giant Ostrich Feather 
and the Comet and Crego types. Their im¬ 
mense size and beauty, long sturdy stems, 
and good lasting quality make them un¬ 
surpassed for cutting. We offer mixed col¬ 
ors only, but in our mixture will be found 
a fine assortment of colors ranging from 
clear w r hite to purple. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts.,

New Calendula 
“Campfire’’ or 
“Sensation” 
Calendulas in recent years have enjoyed a decided revival of interest. Many new 
shades have been introduced, and several new and interesting flower types have 
been developed. One of the most interesting, and certainly the most distinct of 
these is the new laciniated type. Orange Shaggy. Deep orange shaded lighter at 
the center, exceedingly graceful and informal in appearance, it is a striking con¬ 
trast to the formal Calendulas in general use. The plants are free flowering, neat 
and compact, bearing long stems which make the fringy petaled flowers equally 
useful in the garden or for cutting. Pkt., 15c. 
A beautiful departure from the con¬ 
ventional form of Calendula. The 
flowers are large and double, and the petals attractively quilled. The color is a 
deep shade of golden yellow. Pkt., 10c.

a sensational development in 
Calendulas. It is a decided 
improvement ov^r the ordi¬

long, strong stems of Campfire 
make it unexcelled for cut¬ 
ting. Its color is a fascinat¬ 
ing shade of rich brilliant 
orange with a scarlet sheen. 
Valuable for bedding or forc¬ 
ing in pots. Pkt,., 10c.
