KHE secret of having good beds of Calceolarias is 
getting healthy green plants, perfectly free from 
insects when planted out very early, and a good 
decj) ricli soil, with a quantity of manure below the plant ; 
this will prevent their going oil, as they usually do ; the 
main thing is to grow them vigorously, by always having 
fresh nourishment to root into.

(§HESE "ive a very beautiful and tropical aspect to pleasure grounds, by their stately growth and 
Ss broad massive foliage, relieved by rich crimson-scarlet, orange, or yellow flowers during the 
late summer montlis ; their foliage comprising various shades of rich green, glaucous and 
chocolate-crimson leaf-tints, fits them admirably for effective groups, their beautiful appearance 
rendering them a striking contrast to other plants. i i f 
They are also invaluable for large pot plants as portable specimens in pleasure-mound decoration, 
and equally so for summer groups in large conservatories, in which tlmir great diversity of foliage 
appears to advantage, and they are very ornamental for many purposes. The following are the best :
