med, clustered heads like a magnificent 
pure blue Queen Anne’s Lace. Very fine 
for bedding and especially charming 
when cut. This is comparatively new in

raised for cutting. It grows rapidly and 
produces sprays of dainty flowers in

of heavier and denser appearance. Flor¬ 
ists grow it in large quantities for that 
purpose.

Calendula 
Plant from September to January 
Approx, time seed sowing to bloom—12-14 weeks 
The calendula is one of the finest 
winter flowers in the South. It is per¬ 
fectly adapted to cool conditions and 
reaches magnificent proportions in glori¬ 
ous color, such as is seen nowhere else 
in the country except under glass. It 
grows quickly from seed, transplants 
easily, and is not affected by the coldest 
weather which the South can experience. 
Space the plants 18 to 24 inches apart 
and take off all buds from each stem 
except the center if the largest and fin¬ 
est flowers are desired for cutting. If a 
showy display is wanted in the garden, 
allow all the buds to develop.
