CALCEOLARIA 
BALL 
MULTIFLORA 
NANA MIXTURE 
@HYBRID MIXED 
(New.) Brilliant reds and rich yellows (some spotted with 
contrasting maroon) make up this outstanding blend of 
genuine Fy; Hybrids—the first ever offered in Calceolarias. 
Flowers are medium in size but produced in great cloud- 
like heads. Because of the exceptional vigor of this strain, 
it should be finished in 6-inch pots rather than 5’s.

Calecolartas 
20,000 seeds per 42 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 214-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 Feb. on they'll need protection from direct 
sun. Water only when dry; “wet feet” will cause yellowing of foliage.
