KALANCHOE 
No plant surpasses Kalanchoe for brilliance of scarlet-red color. 
While they flower normally in spring, they may be had in bloom 
for Christmas from a January sowing, if shaded for about 6 weeks 
starting late August. 
@ Brilliant Star. This new hybrid Kalanchoe makes a fine pot 
plant producing flowers 3 times the size of the common varie- 
ties and of a brighter fiery red color. The attractive foliage 
is restricted to the base of the plant, permitting the develop- 
ment of clean stems about 12 inches long which are suitable 
for cutting, especially if benched. Tr. pkt., $1.50; M42 oz., 
$3.50; 64 oz., $6.50. 
@Tom Thumb. A dwarf compact strain of this popular succulent. 
Produces perfectly rounded symmetrical plants literally cov- 
ered with bright scarlet flowers. A January or February sow- 
ing will provide fine 4-in. specimens for next winter’s sales. 
Tr. pkt., $1.25; Ys oz., $5.00; 140 oz., $9.00. 
Globulifera Coccinea. The original rather tall growing Kalan- 
choe. Should be handled the same as the above variety but 
its stronger growth will produce larger plants. Tr. pkt., 60¢; 
14 oz., $1.60. 
satisfactory in our experience and observation.
