"FLOWER SEEDS FOR FLORISTS" 
BALL 
CALENDULA 
(3,000 seeds per ounce) 
A January or early Febru¬ 
ary sowing of Calendula will 
make a nice crop for Easter 
of this year and Mother’s Day. 
They will continue flowering 
heavily until overcome by hot 
weather. No flowers are more 
colorful or carry out a spring 
atmosphere than Ball Calen¬ 
dula, and no trouble with the 
flowers wilting at this season. 
Also, except in high temper¬ 
atures, Calendula have value 
for outdoor cutting. Like most 
summer flowers they enjoy the 
protection of a cloth house. 
Why They Come Single. 
Under favorable growing con¬ 
ditions our strains of Ball 
Calendula are fully 99% dou¬ 
ble. The very few real singles 
are small and flower quite 
early. They are worthless and 
should be removed. Unfavor¬ 
able conditions that cause 
double flowering plants to pro¬ 
duce singles are: too much 
heat, poor soil, lack of enough 
water, or aphis drawing the 
life out of them. The check to 
the growth of cutting off a 
heavy crop will account for 
the singles that show up rather 
freely at the finish of a crop. 
For bedding purposes the 
compact growing varieties list¬ 
ed for this purpose, should be 
used. 
Our position with respect 
to the Ball Calendula is due 
to having originated all varieties in this superior cut-flower class. 
Also to our continued interest in improving them.
