KOCHIA TRICOPHYLLA 



The seed should be sown when the Oak trees are 

 bursting into leaf. The plants develop very 

 rapidly, finally reaching by midsummer two feet 

 in height, and forming perfect globes of green, 

 feathery branches, which later burst into a mass 

 of small brightest scarlet flowers; the whole effect 

 being that of a globe of fire, a veritable burning 

 bush. Anyone can grow this plant in almost any 

 situation, and we accordingly recommend it most 

 highly.. Sometimes called Fire Bush. Price
