NEW CALENDULA 
Orange Shaggy. Is a very distinct new 
break in Calendulas. The petals are 
long and deeply fringed or laciniated. 
Row after row of these long fringed 
petals overlap each other in a rather 
irregular fashion and build up a bloom 
with the shaggy appearance of some 
Chrysanthemums. These blooms are 
of great grace and beauty, sharply 
contrasting with the rather formal ap¬ 
pearance of varieties such as Orange 
King, etc. The color is a deep orange 
shading to slightly lighter orange in 
the center of the bloom, giving the 
flower a delightful two tone effect. 
Well grown, Orange Shaggy has long 
stems and forms plants about eighteen 
inches high . x / 8 oz. $1.00 .50

variety represents the best that has
