ANTHEMIS (H# 24 in.) 
1011—Kelwayi.—The most easily grown of the hardy 
daisies. Start seed early and the plants will bloom the 
first year. Bears a profusion of rich golden yellow flowers. 
Pkt., 10c; oz. 30c. 
ASTERS (HO 18 to 36 in.) 
The Aster is comparatively easy to grow and furnishes 
more blooms per plant than any other good cutflower. The 
colors are many and embrace vivid reds, rich blues, and all 
of the delicate shades of blue and pink. In the South it is 
best to plant them early. Seed may be started indoors or 
sowed in the open ground. Asters like a mellow loam soil 
that is fertile and moist. The Queen of The Market strain 
is one of the earliest to bloom and a most popular kind. 
The Crego Giants come next in bloom and are larger. Then 
comes the American Late Branchings which begin to bloom 
in August and make fine big flowers with good stems. The 
last to bloom and the largest flowers are the California 
Giant Branching. These grow immense plants that are 
loaded with enormous blossoms on long stems. In order to 
produce a succession of blooms all of these kinds should be 
planted. Then you will have asters from early July until 
frost.

CALENDULA (HO 12 to 18 in.) 
There are few flowers that offer the novice such a rich 
profusion of blooms for so little care. Calendulas are easy 
to grow and will bloom all summer if kept cut. Seed may 
be sowed in the open ground after danger of frost is past.

growers in this country and better stock cannot be found 
anywhere.

1059—Orange Shaggy.—This new and distinct type of 
Calendula is in striking contrast to the old formal types. 
Orange Shaggy combines grace and beauty where the old 
calendulas were stiff and formal. Large blossoms, deep 
orange in color and beautifully laciniated are borne on 
graceful stems of good length. Owing to the ease of cul¬ 
ture, prolific blooming habit, and beauty of this variety it 
is destined to' become very popular both as a garden and as 
a cut flower. It was a winner of the Gold Medal Award in 
the 1935 All American Selections and this vouches for its 
quality and value.
