 cluding spotted, marbled, blotched and self-col- 

 ored varieties. The herbaceous Calceolaria is 

 an easily cultivated plant. So long as frost is 

 excluded from the plants in winter thev are per- 

 fectly safe, and to attempt to hasten growth ;it 

 any time is a failure. July is the best month

Calceolaria Veitch's Hardy Hybrid, 



Golden Glory. (Novelty, '09.) H.H.P. As 

 beautiful for greenhouse 

 decoration as for the herbaceous border, or bed- 

 ding. As a greenhouse plant this will be invalu- 

 able, but as a hardy herbaceous plant it will 

 take a high position for its glorious coloring, 

 golden yellow, and for the length of time it con- 

 tinues in bloom. Not only has it stood out-of- 

 doors in Devonshire. England, but the plants 

 which were grown at the Royal Horticultural 

 Society's gardens at Wisley, withstood over 20
