“Flower Seeds 
Sprung eae 
Cuthbertson Strain 
(350 seeds per oz.) 
For greenhouse sowing between October and February, we 
find this strain superior to the Early or Winter class. While 
their stronger growth makes them a week or 10 days later 
flowering, they are generally longer stemmed and last longer 
into the spring than the weaker growing Earlies. They are also 
increasingly used for outdoor planting, being somewhat earlier 
than the Late or Summer class. 
Billy. Bright cerise rose on salmon; very showy. 
*Carol. Attractive clear pink on white ground. 
*Coline. Vivid, intense scarlet. 
Danny. Brilliant deep marine blue. 
Evelyn. Extra long stemmed, soft salmon pink. 
*Frank G. Fine soft rosy lavender. One of the best. 
Hazel. Soft, light ‘’Princess Blue’’ shade. 
* Janet. Large frilled white flowers are carried on long heavy 
stems; black seeded.

in the Winter class.

A well grown house of Ball Masterpiece Calendula. 
Due to the ease with which Calendula of ordinary quality can 
be grown, they are sometimes overdone, making them rather 
unprofitable. Because of this we can’t help emphasizing that 
profits come only from well grown stock. This calls for an 
early start (July in our locality) ; cool temperatures—not over 
45° nights during fall and winter (40° is better); and regular 
disbudding—to insure large 4 to 5 in. flowers on long stiff 
stems. Ground beds are preferable, but not absolutely neces- 
sary. We grow our own Calendula this way and our crop rarely 
fails to show a profit on our wholesale market. 
Considering that the crop is usually cut out by Valentine’s 
Day, permitting a follow-up crop of spring Snaps, we feel that 
most every grower should have at least a bed or so of this real 
bread and butter crop.

est flowered variety. Golden orange with light eye.
