CALANDRINIA

Sow seeds in slight hot-bed and transplant to light soil; it flowers freely, and is perennial if protected in winter.

CALENDULA. (POT MARIGOLD). - Very pretty; flowers toward sunset and does not open on cloudy days; hence one of its names, rainy marigold. CANDYTUFT. Fine for edging of beds and bouquets; for early flowering sow seed in fall and protect during winter with mulch; thin plants to four inches apart in the spring; it is difficult to transplant.

CELOSIA. (COCKSCOMB). - Start early in hot-beds or window-boxes, and transplant into small pots, to remain until the flowers begin to appear, then set out in warm garden soil fifteen inches apart.
