CALENDULA, Scotch Marigold, AF 
The colorful flowers make a wonderful display in the 
garden and are always admired by those who see them. 
Blooms freely in early summer and continues into the fall. 
Even though this plant prefers a sunny location and rather 
dry soil, it does well under widely different conditions, re¬ 
quiring little care to grow to perfection. 18 to 24 inches in 
height. 
Orange Fantasy (New). A fine new Calendula. Crested bronzy 
or coppery-orange, white petals are orange edged with mahog¬ 
any red. All-America winner, 1938. Pkt. 15c. 
Orange Shaggy. Gol'^ Medal, All-America Selections, 1935. 
One of the most interesting introductions is the new laciniated 
type. Orange Shaggy. Deep orange shading lighter at the cen¬ 
ter, exceedingly graceful and informal in appearance, it is a 
striking contrast to the formal Calendulas in general use. 
New Sunshine Calendula Chrysantha. Gold Medal Winner, 
All-America Selections, 1934. A lovely, friendly newcomer. A 
clear, buttercup yellow in color with loosely arranged petals, 
incurved at center and reflexed at edges, somewhat like a 
Chrysanthemum. 
Campfire Improved, A. A vastly improved, reselected strain 
of Campfire. The color is well known, a very deep strong 
orange with a distinct scarlet sheen on the upper side of each 
petal. Blooms are flat across the top and measure at least 4 
inches in diameter.
