CALENDULA 
“SUNSHINE’ 
"ALL-AMERICAN" for 1934 

BROOM (Cytisus)—P. Shrub. Seeds should 
preferably be started in the fall in flats 
as they germinate very slowly. Drought 
resistant, growing well where the sum- 
mers are not too hot nor the winters too 
cold, as far north on the Pacific Coast 
as British Columbia and in the east as 
far north as Virginia. ‘They can be grown 
in almost any kind of soil but thrive best 
in dry sandy soil, needing but little nour- 
ishment. 
The shrubs are literally covered with 
the small pea-shaped flowers for a long 
period in the spring and early summer. 
Pruning to prevent the rangy growers 
from being too tall and gawky is ad- 
visable. 
This year we have specially fine seed 
gathered from the newest and most color- 
ful seedlings, a full color assortment, 
variegated, in brilliant shades of red, 
pink, gold, apricot, brown, rose and 
orange.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS (Korean Hybrids)— 
While touring New England in autumn 
our neighbor, Sydney B. Mitchell, presi- 
dent of the California Horticultural So- 
ciety, saw the magnificent massed plant- 
ings of Korean hybrid chrysanthemums 
at the Bristol Nurseries, where they were 
originated by the manager, Alex Cum- 
ming. 
We can now furnish seed direct from 
the originator. This is the easiest and 
cheapest way to secure a wide range of 
colors in these brilliant early-flowering 
single, semi-double and double chrysan- 
themums. In California they come a 
month earlier than the pompon chrys- 
anthemums and their branching bushy 
growth makes them very suitable for 
garden as well as for cutting. 
Start the seed in March or April. Pinch 
the plants back two or three times be- 
fore the buds begin to form. Plant in 
good mellow soil but do not fertilize or 
the plants will grow tall at the expense

A NEW SWEET CORN 
Having run across a new product 
of unusually fine quality, we step out 
of our line to present it to such of 
our customers as may be interested 
in an item of that sort. The item is a 
new white sweet corn which Mr. Sal- 
bach grows for use on his own table. 
A-—6 to 8 feet. April to June. A packet 
will plant a 10-foot square of 4 rows, 
8 hills to the row, 4 seeds to a hill. 
Single row planting usually means 
half filled ears. Successive plantings 
can be made a month apart. Water 
only enough to produce normal 
growth. Cultivate frequently. 
Aunt Mary’s Sweet Corn—A fellow 
iris grower told us about this sweet 
white corn, which had been grown 
in his family for years. We tried a 
planting for our own use and 
found it to be the best sweet corn 
we had ever eaten —a real treat, 
deliciously sweet and unusually 
tender. Many customers voice their 
enthusiasm as to its high quality.
