Cult. Calceolària is a genus of very showy plants, and 
great favourites at present with gardeners and others. Some 
of them are annual, others perennial, but the greater mass 
are shrubby. All of them thrive well in light rich soil, or a 
mixture of loam, sand, and peat; giving them the treatment of 
other greenhouse plants. They readily increase by young cut- 
tings, under a hand-glass ; and also by seed, which ripens plen- 
tifully in this country. By impregnating the stigma of one sort 
with the pollen of another, many very beautiful hybrids have 
been reared in tbe gardens. The seeds of the annual kinds 
should be reared in a hot-bed, in spring ; and when the plants 
are of sufficient size, they should be set separately in pots; and 
others may be planted out in the open ground, in a warm, shel- 
tered situation.
