These calendulas are far superior to the old-fashioned vari- 
eties in many respects; flowers are larger, longer stemmed. 
fuller and of richer colors. Those offered on this page are extra 
large-flowered and double to the very center, except where 
noted. Calendulas are of easiest culture, succeeding in ordi- 
nary, well-drained soil and where summers are not too hot, 
plants will bloom from early summer until frost, and furnish 
an endless supply of long-lasting cut-flowers. Sow seed in early 
spring and again in early summer to furnish blooms in the cool 
fall days. Plants grow 15 to 24 in. tall, depending on the variety.
