THE CINERARIA HOUSE. 137 



seedlings appear, when air must be given. If the soil 

 is made firm before sowing the seed, and then watered 

 with a fine rose waterpot so as to soak through the soil 

 in the pans, and the seed is then sown over the surface 

 thinly, no water will be required before the seedlings 

 are up. 



After the Calceolarias have done flowering, they 

 may be succeeded by a stand of Balsams, which, if good 

 double ones, will pay well commercially speaking ; or, if 

 grown for pleasure, a miscellaneous collection of these 

 with Cockscombs and Fuchsias may succeed them. 



This house will hold about 800 Cinerarias, the same 

 number of Calceolarias, about the same of Balsams, and 

 a thousand or more of miscellaneous plants according to 

 the size of them.
