HARDY CALENDULAS
Calendulas are among the most popular of the winter flowering annuals and their brilliant orange red flowers make them worthy of a place in any garden. They are easily grown under all garden conditions and require no special culture, save the care to provide them with a rich soil at planting time.
During the winter, when the flowers are produced in profusion, they are ideal cut flowers and are plentiful when flowers are scarce. Pot marigolds, as they are often called, have been greatly improved of recent years and there are several very fine varieties in orange red and golden yellow to be had from the leading seedsmen.
After the first year’s planting you need not worry about further supplies, as they will seed and come up season after season of their own accord. While most useful for the winter garden, they flower equally well at almost any period of the year and seed may be sown either in the spring or autumn.
