Burpee’s Superb Giant Calendulas 
Calendula 
Scotch Marigolds El 
It is marvelous to see how plant breeders have improved the old- 
fashioned Calendula that was grown generations ago. The beautiful 
varieties offered below, except where noted, are extra large-flowered 
and double to the very center. Where summers are not too hot, 
plants will bloom from early summer until frost, and furnish an end¬ 
less supply of long-lasting cut-flowers. Calendulas are of easiest 
culture, succeeding in ordinary, well-drained soil. Sow any time 
during the spring and early summer. The large-flowered varieties 
are also wonderful greenhouse subjects. 18 to 24 in. tall.
