Burpee’s CALENDULAS 
SCOTCH OR POT MARIGOLDS 
These calendulas are far superior to the old-fashioned 
varieties 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 cul- 
_ ture, succeeding in ordinary, well-drained soil and, where 
summers are not too hot, plants will bloom from early sum- 
mer until frost and furnish an endless supply of long- 
lasting cut flowers. Sow seed in early spring. In hot 
sections, another sowing may be made in early summer 
to furnish blooms in the cool fall days. Plants grow 15 to 
24 in. tall, depending on the variety and locality. 
1798 Art Shades Many fine colors not previously seen in 
calendulas—picotees, delicate shades of apricot, orange, cream, 
buff, etc., in a grand mixture. Fine for beds, borders and cutting.

across, semi-double, with petals becoming increasingly shorter and 
more erect toward the center. Long, heavy stems. Orange Fluffy 
and Glowing Gold, when introduced by us, were christened ‘‘The 
_ X-Ray Twins,’’ because the origin of both occurred on the same 
day and under the same X-Ray treatment; yet in appearance, 
each is distinct and entirely unlike twins. They are most unusual.
