Varieties. The yearly improvement in the Calceolaria 
consists in the production of improved strains from seeds. 
The improvements are as follow: Plants of a dwarfer 
habit, a much larger quantity of blossom from a plant, and 
the flowers themselves richer and more varied in colour, 
larger in size, and much better formed. Whena variety 
of a distinct colour has been obtained, and its qualities are 
such that it may fairly be considered a good advance on 
existing varieties, seeds are sayed from it; and if it has 
been kept free from the influence of foreign pollen the 
seedlings can be depended upon to be much like’ the 
parent. In this way strains of distinct colours are 
obtained. Named collections are not to be had, as the 
expense of propagating them from cuttings or offsets is 
too much to compensate the growers.

layering, while placed in hand-lights or frames on the north 
side of a wall or fence. From six to a dozen plants may 
be obtained from one old stool during summer. Cuttings 
will strike in sandy soil if they are placed in closed hand 
glasses in autumn.

CALENDULA. Syn. Caltha (of Mench). To this 
genus upwards of a score species have been referred, 
ranging from the Canary Islands to Persia, and from 
Central Europe to the Mediterranean;. but some of 
them are now only regarded as varieties. Several plants 
formerly included hereunder are tow classed under
