CALCEOLARIA BALL MULTIFLORA NANA 
While Calceolarias aren’t difficult to grow, they are rather 
exacting in their requirements. But they do sell, for it is difficult 
to imagine a more showy pot plant. To make 5-inch plants for 
Easter, seed should be sown around Aug. 15. In sowing use only 
loose, sterilized material. The seed is very fine and no soil cover- 
ing should be used. When large enough to handle, they should 
be banded in 214’s— later they may go into 5-inch pots. Cool 
temperatures (45°-48° nights) are important after plants are well 
up; and from late winter on they’ll need protection from direct 
sun. Regular fumigation is essential, too. Ball Multiflora Nana 
Mixture is the most popular variety.

Nothing more colorful than Cinerarias for an inexpensive spring pot- 
ted plant. Cremer’s and Siter’s are both excellent varieties. 
The value of Cinerarias lies in their popular and appealing 
colors plus the ease and low cost at which they can be grown. 
Seed is usually sown from late July thru September for winter 
and spring pot plants. To avoid damping off, transplant the seed- 
lings to 2% inch plant bands as soon as they can be handled. 
Before they become root-bound, shift into their final size pot. 
While this method calls for a little care in preventing over- 
watering until they make new roots, we find it produces better 
results, with less labor, than handling them in small pots which 
dry out rapidly during warm, sunny weather.
