CULTURE The fact that most retail growers feel they cannot 
do without a bench of Calendula, proves their continued indispen- 
sable value. Easily and economically grown, glowing colors that 
do not fade and the fact that they can be in full crop during Decem- 
ber and January are strong points. But grow them in a cold, airy 
house. In a Carnation house temperature their heavy growths 
become soft during the short months. In our latitude, we get in a 
good Christmas crop with an August 15 sowing. We get better 
stems from a deep, ground bed, but we must keep the soil in such 
a bed on the dry side during December and January. Keeping it 
normally wet tends to soften the growth and stems. Much moisture 
during these months also encourages rot in the growth during these 
months. We sometimes don’t water them at all from mid-November 
until a few days before the Christmas crop is cut.
