IPOMOEA (Moonflower. Etc.) 
(See colored illustration in center of this book) 
Clark's Early-Flowering Heavenly Blue. This 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. This climber made a beautiful showing 
on the back wall of the Horticultural Building. A color of pure, un¬ 
rivalled beauty. Tr. Pkt.15c Oz..,

IPOMOEA “SCARLETT O’HARA” 
(Awarded Gold Medal, All-America Selections, 1939) 
"Scarlett O'Hara" is an entirely new color in a Morning Glory, 
a rich dark wine red, or deep rosy crimson. Few introductions in 
recent years have caused so much interest prior to the introduction 
and now that "Scarlett" is with us, we can say it warrants all 
that was expected earlier. Though the flowers are not as large as 
"Heavenly Blue," they are of good size, about 4 inches in diameter, 
and freely produced on fast-growing vines which start blooming 
within 65 days after seed is sown. The dark green foliage does 
not make a heavy growth. 
NOTE! In order to produce freedom of bloom, sow seed in pots 
or tin cans and insert in soil in the open.

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.. .$1.35 
CULTURE FOR KALANCHOE. Propagated easily from seed. Sow in 
January and prick off when large enough. Place two plants in a pot; 
this will increase sales. 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 August 16 to October 15, will pro¬ 
duce plants for Christmas if grown in a 60-65 degree house. No 
specific recommendations as to soil or fertilizer. Time of later bloom 
controlled by temperature. 
KALE (Flowering) 
(So-called Ornamental Cabbage.) 
Although belonging to the same family of Cabbage or Kale, this 
Flowering Kale is an entirely different sort of plants as to its appear¬ 
ance. In young stage its leaves are green just like ordinary Kale, but 
in autumn as the weather advances remarkably beautiful colors begin 
to appear and paint whole plant in self colors or in variegation. 
The colors range from white, cream, pink, rose, magenta, etc., on dark 
green ground. 
As the plants grow, the colors become more brilliant and keep well 
all through winter until late spring. 
Considering its conspicuous color and its marvelous keeping quality, 
this Flowering Kale should gain great popularity as pot plants for 
Xmas or New Year decoration or as bedding out plants for winter and 
spring borders. 
Exhibited at the National Floral Sh^.>w, Houston, Texas, 1939. The above 
created a wonderful amount of interest, both from florists and the 
public as well. New crop seed now ready.
