Layering Calceolarias. — As I have met with much disappoint- 

 ment by trying to strike cuttings of some bard-wooded Calceolarias, I 

 tried with success tlie plan of layering, as follows : — I took the plant, 

 with its ball of earth, out of a pot, and cut away part of root and earth, 

 and laid it in a long dish — so every shoot becomes a plant. The above 

 will answer for all sorts of plants I have tried that will root by 

 cuttings, only a peg should be put down where each division is to be 

 made, to save ruining all with the knife, — T. Hill, Pinxton.
