CALENDULAS 
Plan for the main crop to come in late December and January. For this 
crop seed is usually sown late July in northern greenhouses. An early 
fall sowing will provide a later crop. 
A. B. C. IMPROVED SENSATION 
Considered by many to be the best Calendula for cut-flower purposes. 
Flowers very large, deep orange with scarlet sheen, light center.

Masterpiece. Clear rich orange with an attractively contrasting dark 
brown center. 
Improved Long Orange. The largest flowered and longest stemmed 
Calendula. Clear bright orange with light eye. 
Lemon Queen. Clear medium deep yellow with a dark brown center 
that contrasts most effectively. Generally preferred yellow. 
Gold. Deep golden yellow, long-stemmed and large flower with 
light center. Stem, size, and color in this are outstanding. 
Supreme. Light shade of orange with a contrasting brown center, 
not extra long-stemmed but freer flowering than any of the above. 
Apricot. Rich apricot or straw color with a finely contrasting brown 
center. Same habit as Ball's Supreme, from which it is a selection. 
Inclined to occasionally produce orange petals with the apricot. Some 
should be grown for variety. 
ALL of the above uniformly priced as follows:

CENTAUREA 
(Bachelor Button or Cornflower) 
Popular Free-Flowering Annuals 
CYANUS (A. B. C. Giant Strains DOUBLE) 
The flowers of these strains are very large, fully double, and the 
colors intensified. We offer the florist trade especially select strains 
that should not be confused with those generally offered. Sowings can 
be made at regular intervals but the principal sowings are made late 
fall and January-February for late spring flowering. Grow cool.

GILBERT'S CELOSIAS 
Gilbert's Rose Beauty (New). Height 3 to 4 feet, non-branching un- 
less pinched when less than 12 inches high, foliage bright green, 
stems round, strong and straight. Flower-heads when full grown 
are very ruffled and ball shaped measuring 8 to 14 inches across. 
The color is a rather uniform bright pink or rose on a silver base 
and should run 90% or more true to type. It makes an ex- 
cellent cut flower, holding its shape and color better than most 
cristatas. Dries perfectly after being used as a cutflower.
