Ipomoea "Heavenly Blue." Clark's Improved Early Flowering Strain. 
Clark's strain is well known and widely used throughout the United 
States. It is early flowering and makes a sparse growth of foliage. 
When growing Ipomoeas, care should be taken to plant them in a 
dry, sandy location, and fertilizer should never be applied. One of 
the most admired flowering vines at the Chicago Century of Progress, 
1934. This climber made a beautiful showing on the back wall of 
the Horticultural Building. A color of pure, unrivalled beauty. 
Clark's Early-Flowering Heavenly Blue. A good seller when offered 
in small pot plants for setting out in the garden in spring.

KALANCHOE 
Blossfeldiana (Globulifera Coccinea). A succulent plant that is very 
easy of cultivation. The flowers are similar to Bouvardia in form, and 
in color they are very bright scarlet. Tr. Pkt... 60c 3 Tr. Pkts.. .$1.50 
CULTURE FOR KALANCHOE 
Propagated easily from seed. Sow in January and prick off when large 
enough. Place two plants in a pot; this will make for business. Plants 
pinched in June and July will not flower as early as those not pinched. 
Plants should be made up similar to Poinsettias. Shade from Aug. 16 
to Oct. 15 will produce plants for Christmas if grown in a 60-65 deg. 
house. No specific recommendations as to soil or fertilizer. Time of 
later bloom controlled by temperature. 
KOCHIA 
Summer Cypress or Mexican Fire Bush Childsi. Improved strain. 
Tr. Pkt. 10c Oz. 20c 
LANTANA 
Desirable for bedding, pot culture, vases. Seed must be sown with 
bottom heat and early. 
Dwarf Compacta, Mixed. Tr. Pkt.15c Oz .60c 
LARKSPUR 
An important cut flower both for greenhouse and outdoor culture. 
Moderate temperature and a moist soil are necessary to obtain good 
germination. Seed frequently fails to start at all in hot weather. 
The Base Branching class, also known as the Imperial or Spiral, im¬ 
proves the original Stock-flowered in being somewhat longer stemmed. 
The Hyacinth-flowered type produces but one non-branching flower 
spike. They do well on a raised or shallow bed where the growth 
can be hardened some, but on a deep ground bed, especially if grown 
cold, they produce hollow stems that break easily in handling. 
Cinnabar Cockade (New). Cinnabar is a rich, brilliant rose red; plants 
are compact and symmetrical, throwing long spikes of very double 
flowers. Cinnabar has the same graceful habit as Blue Cockade. This 
variety is destined to be the florists' favorite for cut-flower purposes; 
its brilliant color and long spikes have great buying appeal. 
Tr. Pkt. 35c Oz .$2.25 Vi lb. $7.50 
Larkspur Giant Imperial Cattleya. This is a late flowering, branching 
from the base habit (two to three weeks later than other sorts) which 
lengthens the flowering season. The color is a rich rosy lilac and 
full double flowers are closely spaced on four to five foot stems. 
Highly commended by the Royal Horticultural Society after trial at 
Wisley, England, 1934. 
Tr. Pkt.25c Oz .$1.00 
Larkspur Giant Imperial Dazzler is in full bloom seven to ten days 
earlier than any of the other varieties. The flowering spike is very 
long with closely spaced mammoth flowers of a vivid lustrous car¬ 
mine color. Dazzler will make an ideal florists' variety for earliness 
and its long flowered spike, also for the home gardener who loves 
grace and brilliancy. 
Tr. Pkt.25c Oz .$1.00 
Larkspur Giant Imperial Sweet Lavender. A delightful shade of rich 
lavender blue, the flowers are very large, full double, closely spaced 
on a long flowering truss. Sweet Lavender is an outstanding new 
shade of great merit. Highly commended by the Royal Horticultural 
Society after trial at Wisley, England, 1934.
