giant Zanzibarensis Castor bean over 15 feet tali. 
CASTOR BEAN 
The Ricinus has very ornamental foliage and 
beautiful showy-fruit. Fine for the center of 
a bed, as it gives a magnificent semi-tropical 
appearance; or planted thick, it makes a fine 
screen or hedge. Plant seed in open, very rich, 
deep-spaded ground, in a dry situation as soon 
as safe in spring. 
# Zanzibarensis—The tallest growing Castor 
Oil Bean, reaching an average height of 12 ft. 
The large palmate leaves often measure 2 ft. or 
more across. A stately plant for a background. 
Each plant makes a perfect pyramid of- green 
and bronze foliage. The House of Gurney 
will give $5.00 for the photograph_ of the 
tallest Castor Bean raised from this seed. 
Take the picture with some member of the 
family standing by the plant, measure it 
carefully and send it in to be judged before 
October 1st. If your Castor Bean is the tallest, 
you will receive $5.00 in cash. Let’s raise a 16-ft. 
bean. Pkt., 7c; oz., 20c; <4 lb., 50c.

CALENDULAS 
• CALENDULA CHRYSANTHA 
ALL AMERICAN SELECTIONS 1934 
Chrysantha is distinct in 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 ar¬ 
ranged petals which droop somewhat to give the 
rounded appearance 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. The 
fact that it won one of the coveted Gold Medals 
in the All American Selections competitions this 
year indicates the high esteem in which it is held 
by the horticulturists of the country. Pkt., 6c; 
]/ 2 oz., 15c; 1 oz., 25c. 
© Radio—This novel development of form in 
Calendulas has been received with much favor. 
The flowers are hemispherical in shape with 
bristling quilled petals which add materially to 
the grace of the blossoms. Their color is a glow¬ 
ing rich orange. Pkt., 5c; y 2 oz., 15c; oz., 25c. 
© Orange King—Double, dark orange red, dark 
center; a very select strain. The plants in the 
open ground under ordinary field cultivation at¬ 
tain a height of eighteen inches and produce 
blossoms three and a half inches in diameter.

CALENDULA 
ORANGE SHAGGY 
Gold Medal Winner 1935 All America Selections 
© Calendulas in recent years have enjoyed a de¬ 
cided revival of interest. Many new colors have 
been introduced in the ordinary double form, and 
several new and interesting flower types have 
been developed. One of the most interesting, and 
certainly the most distinct of these new types is 
the new laciniated petaled type, Orange Shaggy. 
It is destined to become one of our most popular 
garden flowers. Deep orange in color, exceed¬ 
ingly graceful and informal in appearance, it is 
a striking contrast to the formal Calendulas in 
general use. Excellent for use both in the garden 
and for cutting. Pkt., 7c; y 2 oz., 20c; 1 oz., 35c.
