HOLLYHOCK (Annual)

duces flowers of attractive bright rose and rosy carmine shades, 
of a size similar to the Single Perennial Hollyhock; however, 
seed sown in February will bloom freely in early August. 
“Indian Spring” attains a height of six feet or more, with flowering 
branches produced freely from about a foot from the soil. “Indian 
Spring” produces a compact pyramidal plant that is worthy of high 
recommendation.

Ipomoea (Morning Glory) “Scarlett O’Hara” 
16 

IPOMOEA (Moonflower, Etc.) 
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.....15¢ @zneolC Va lacente ene 
“PEARLY GATES” 
(Awarded Silver Medal in All-America Selections) 
A sport from, and seemingly identical in growth, foliage and bloom, 
except white in color, with Clark’s Early Heavenly Blue Morning Glory. 
A grand companion for its most popular counterpart. A big, satiny 
white with a creamy shading in the throat, gives this a beautiful 
appearance. Plant with Heavenly Blue and Crimson Rambler or 
Scarlet O'Hara for red, white and blue effect. Reaches 12 feet, with 
luxurious foliage, wherever Morning Glories will grow.

“SCARLET O’7HARA” 
(Awarded Gold Medal, All-America Selections, 1939.) 
“Scarlet 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 “Scarlet” 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.

Cornell. So named because it reproduces the colors of Cornell Uni-

pure white border, the flowers measuring as much as 3% inches 
across. Resembles ‘Scarlett O'Hara” in color but has the contrasting

Crimson Rambler. Very similar to ‘Scarlett O’Hara’’ but with white 
throat and heart-shaped leaves. This is a beautiful climber, but not 
suitable for window boxes as is ‘‘Scarlett.”’

KALANCHOE 
Tom Thumb. This is a dwarf variation of Kalanchoe Blossfeldiana, 
having the same color. The general habit, however, is dwarf with 
very short flowering stems that form just beyond the foliage and the 
flowers, instead of merely forming above the foliage, actually envelop 
the entire plant, starting at its base.

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.
