430 CALCEOLARIAS. LANTANA. 



This plant may be forced by placing the pots on the shelf 

 over a kitchen range, or on the hot pipes of a green-house. 

 The leaves and flowers will lack color if kept from the 

 light, but a few days exposure will remedy this want. 



BEDDING CALCEOLARIAS. 



These plants are not favorites, as they fail to give con- 

 tinuous bloom. 



There has, however, been an improvement, and some 

 of the varieties are desirable, as in color they have no 

 rivals, 



Crimson Queen. A free grower, with scarlet-tinted 

 bronze-crimson flowers. 



Pillar of Gold. Rich golden-yellow. 



Sparkler. Yellow and maroon. 



Aurea floribunda. Clear yellow. 



Crown Prince. Golden-yellow, large truss. 



Amplexicaule. Lemon-yellow. 



William Lucas. Vermilion-crimson. 



THE LANTANA. 



An improvement has been made in these plants by the 

 introduction of some dwarf varieties of continental origin.
