NICHOLSON'S FLOWER. SEEDS FOR REST RESULTS. 
You have possibly noted during the past few years the in- 
creased planting of flowers. There was a tendency on the

timely on shrubs for beauty, background, etc. But, flowers 
from seeds are returning to popularity for added color. There

surrounds a large, attractive mahogany 
brown center. The flowers grow up to four 
inches across and are fully open at all times, 
while other Calendula close in the late after- 
noons and evenings. Plants grow 15 inches
