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 hybrid Kalanchoe makes a fine pot 
plant, producing flowers 3 times the size of the common varie- 
ties of a brighter, fiery red color. The attractive foliage is 
restricted to the base of the plant, permitting the development 
of clean stems about 12 inches long which are suitable for cut- 
ting, especially if benched. Tr. pkt., $1.75; Weg oz. $3.50; 
144 0z., $6.75. 
satisfactory in our experience and observation.
