KALANCHOE KNIPHOFIA. 261 



Kalanchoe. Crassulacece.

 the fall in the south. 



Kalmia (Mountain Laurel, Calico-bush). Ericacece. 



May be increased by seeds, which should be sown in 

 shallow pans of sandy peat or sphagnum, and kept in a 

 coldframe until the seedlings are large enough to trans- 

 fer to the open air after being hardened off. By cuttings 

 of young shoots in sandy peat, placed in a shady situation 

 under a hand-glass (with much difficulty). Also by lay- 

 ers. Usually obtained from the woods. Varieties are 

 veneer-grafted under glass, upon unnamed stocks.
