CALATHIAN VIOLET. See GENTIA'NA PNEUMON- 

 A'NTHE. 



CALCAREOUS SOIL is a soil in which chalk (carbonate 

 of lime) predominates. The colour approaches to white, 

 in proportion. No soil is productive which does not 

 contain some chalk, or in which it exceeds nineteen parts 

 out of twenty. From one to five per cent, is the usual 

 proportion in fertile soils. Calcareous soils are rarely 

 productive ; they are so feebly retentive of moisture, that 



the crops upon them are burnt up in summer ; and they 

 reflect the sun's rays so fully, that they remain unheated, 

 and vegetation is 'late upon them in spring. The best 

 addition to such soils, to improve their staple, is clay. 



CALCEA'RIA PI'CTA. See CORYSA'NTHES PI'CTA. 



CALCEOLA'RIA. Slipperwort. (From calceolus, a 

 slipper ; in reference to the shape of the flower. Nat. 

 ord. Figworts [Scrophulariaceae], Linn. z-Diandria, 

 i-Monogynia.) 



Herbaceous kinds, to bloom early, sow seeds early in 

 July, or not later than the first week in August. Shrubby 

 kinds, for flower-garden decoration, by cuttings of firm 

 young shoots, under glass, in September ; and again, in 

 heat, in March. Soil for pots, light and rich compost, well 

 drained ; for beds, a good loam should preponderate. 

 Summer temp., 50 to 60 ; winter, 35 to 45.
