Garden Variety. 

 Calceolaria Youngii of the Nurseries. 



Of all the hybrid herbaceous plants that have up to 

 this time been raised, the subject of this Plate strikes us 

 as the most remarkable. We cannot give a better account 

 of it than in the words of Messrs. Young, of Epsom, in 

 whose Nursery the drawing was made last June. 



" Cal. Youngii was raised last year from a plant of 

 Arachnoidea, impregnated with Corymbosa. It grows freely 

 in rich soil, and is increased by division of the roots. 



" It requires an airy situation in the greenhouse through- 

 out the winter. Early in spring, care should be taken to 

 observe the progress of its growth, so as always to give it 

 ample pot-room, shifting it as soon as its roots reach the 

 outside, by which means much luxuriance of growth, and 

 an astonishing abundance of flower, are ensured : but the 

 greatest display of its beauty is to be obtained by planting 

 it (in rich soil) in the open border, in May, where it will 

 uninterruptedly increase in strength and splendour until 

 October."
