Hurpee’s New and Special Flowers 
Burpee’s New Calendulas 
The X -Ray Twins 
So named, because the origin of both occurred on the 
same day in 1933 and under the same X-Ray treat- 
ment, yet in appearance each is distinct and entirely 
unlike twins. Reselections were carried on for six 
years; stock seed was grown in 1940 and crop for seed 
in 1941 so that you may have these distinct and lovely 
Calendulas in your garden this year.
