CALCEOLARIAS, SEEDLING VARIETIES, RAISED BY MR. JOSEPH 

 PLANT, FLORIST, CHEADLE, STAFFORDSHIRE. 



In former volumes we have figured several of the fine seedling Cal- 

 ceolarias, raised hy Mr. Plant, and remarked too upon his great per- 

 severance and success in raising some of the hest kinds which have 

 heen produced. We have now the pleasure to introduce an entire new 

 section of these lovely flowers, viz., a striped class. Specimens were 

 sent us during the past summer, consisting of several varieties, from 

 which we selected those now figured ; and we have no douht the 

 great beauty and novelty they possess will soon conduct them into 

 every good collection. They are, we believe, shrubby kinds, which 

 renders them more valuable. An intermixture of these with some of 

 the large self-coloured varieties, will, no doubt, furnish additional 

 beauties. We hope Mr. Plant will meet with that encouragement his 

 industry entitles him to, in an extensive sale of the varieties we now 

 figure. 



Some judicious remarks upon the culture of Calceolarias was given 

 in our last volume, p. 132, to which we beg to refer our readers ; 

 also to p. 118 in the same volume, and to several other communications 

 inserted in previous volumes, giving ample particulars of the entire 

 routine of treatment.
