LIST OF PLANTS 137 
variably increased by cuttings of firm shoots inserted in 
loam, peat, and sand placed in a close case in spring 
and summer ; the hardy sorts by suckers and cuttings of 
ripened shoots, 3 inches to 6 inches long, in a cold frame 
in September and by layers put down in summer. 
KALANCHOE.—Increase these succulents by seeds sown 
in pans of sandy mould in March, the young seedlings 
being grown on near the glass; also by cuttings, which 
should be exposed to sun and atmosphere for a few days 
before inserting them in small pots on the greenhouse 
shelf with just enough water to keep the soil from 
becoming quite dry. 
Katmia.—Propagate during the summer by young 
shoots inserted in sandy peat in a shady border under 
handlights and by» seed sown in a cold frame in April, 
the seedlings to be hardened off and planted outside 
when large enough. 
KrnNneDyA.—Insert firm side-shoot cuttings in sand 
and peat in spring, and place in a close, warm frame 
until rooted. Seeds germinate readily, and should be 
sown in April. 
KerrIA (JEw’s MALLow).—Pretty, hardy, Japanese 
flowering shrubs (there are both single and double forms), 
which may be increased by cuttings of young shoots 
with a bell-glass in summer, by layering in autumn, or 
by division of the roots in spring. 
KnrPpHoFIA (RED-HOT PoKER).—Mostly increased by 
dividing the crowns in March. Seed may be sown in 
spring in gentle heat. 
Kocuia (Mock Cypress).—Propagate from seed 
sown indoors in March, the seedlings being given 
similar treatment to other half-hardy annuals grown 
in pots. 
Kou Rast (TURNIP-ROOTED CABBAGE).—Seeds should
