as well as valuable for pot culture. 
Chrysanthemum-Flowered Type 
Among the newer flower types in the Calendula 
family, the Chrysantha (Chrysanthemum-F lowered) 
type stands out as one of the best. Large double 
flowers of informal loose formation, with long slen- 
der incurved petals. Remarkable for their long stiff 
stems, making them ideal for cutting. We can sup- 
ply two colors, as follows:
