(Molucella Laevis) 
4200 S. This subject has become immensely popular with 
floral artists the past few years, being used in a wide va- 
riety of arrangements. Plants are base-branching with 2-ft. 
stems closely set with large, bell-like sheaths of translucent 
green surrounding an inconspicuous, small white flower. 
May be used in the fresh or dried state and is easily grown 
in greenhouse benches, in pots or outdoors in summer.

ARE YOU ON THE LIST FOR 
GROWER TALKS? The only commercial monthly publication 
which is devoted exclusively to flower growing: suggestions for 
items to grow, sowing dates, insect disease controls, varieties, 
etc. Yours for 3 years for $2.50. Binder for 24 issues of 
GROWER TALKS, $1.50. 
Calecolarias 
20,000 seeds per 149 oz. Calceolarias aren’t at all difficult to 
grow from seed if a few simple requirements are met. In sowing 
use only loose, sterilized material—night temperature 60°. The 
seed is very fine and no soil covering should be used. When large 
enough to handle, they should go into 24-inch bands—later into 
4. or 5-inch pots for finishing. After banding, a 48° house will 
suit them nicely. A regular insect control program is essential 
(aphis will wreck them in no time). We spray once a week with 
Parathion. From late February on they’ll need protection from 
direct sun. Water only when dry; “wet feet” will cause yellowing 
of foliage.
