Many of the Choicest Strains of Seed which we could formerly only gather in sufficient 
quantities for the raising of our fine annual and perennial flowers, and for limited dis¬ 
tribution in Southern California, we now make available for gardens all over the world 
—for those who desire excellence in floral beauty. It costs much more to produce, but 
only little if any more to buy and no more to grow the best. 
CALENDULA 
Scotch Marigold 
BALLS OF GOLD FOR THE UNIVERSE 
Hardy Annual—18 in. 
A Very Popular Universal Garden Flower 
In mild sections it is simplest to sow calendula seeds where 
the plants are to grow, two or three seeds together, spaced at 
intervals of 12 inches. After they have germinated and thrown 
out their first pair of leaves, select the thriftiest one and pull 
out the others, leaving one plant to mature in eacb planting. 
In mild climates they may be planted in fall for winter bloom¬ 
ing. In colder sections they may be planted inside or in hot 
beds in March or April and transplanted to the garden in May. 
Seeds may be sown in the open ground after all danger of 
frost is past.

CALLIOPSIS 
Tickseed 
Hardy Annual 
The dwarf Calliopsis is a splendid thing for edging, low massed 
plantings or rockeries. The richly marked flowers come in 
shades of yellow, orange and mahogany. Plants grow about 
one foot high and are of easy culture. Sow where they are to 
grow. Fine for cutting. 
2271 Calliopsis, Golden Crown. Larger than Calliopsis Golden 
Wave, and semi-double, but of the same cheery golden yellow, 
with small maroon center-zone. Flowers are fragrant, on 1-foot 
stems, making Golden Crown ideal for both cutting and bed¬ 
ding through spring and summer. A quick and easy annual. 
Award of Merit, All-American Selections for 1938. Pkt. 25c.

HIS 5th LETTER 
"This makes about the fifth straight year that I am writing you about 
the true value of your Sun-ripened Aster seed. As usual, at the last 
Toledo Horticultural Society Flower Show, thanks again to your 
seed, I took all color first prizes. My plants are kept growing with 
the least of care, for I work away from home every day and only 
try to raise flowers for a hobby. No matter what, I remain a steady 
Fraser Sun-ripened seed user."—Mr. C. W. Paeth, 2433 Lambert 
Drive, Toledo, Ohio.
