they become stagnant they go backward, and when so they are becoming stunted, insects attack them 
yellow foliage sets in, and perfection is lost. Sow in August, and from the moment they arc up do 
everything to keep them growing, and the foster the better. Rainwater is ahsolutcly necessary. Let than 
be carefully shifted froon the small pot to the i-ineh. J.ct the night temperature and moista.re be such as 
to cause a nice refreshing dew to stand on the surface of the leaves every morning, this wards g/l' 
insects and gives vigoivr to the whole, but it should br dispelled during the day by the admission of air. 
(Sec imporrtant cultural particulars given for Cinerarias.) Keep them in a cold frame, with^denty of air 
and moisture at all favourable times. No frost must touch them. The grand secret is to keep all green 
fly away, and if coddled in a house they a.re almost sure to destroy them, unless the most effectual means 
a,rc adopted by placing them in a loftg position, and fumigating as per directions given (see <luidc ) ; 
and at the very moment of the first curled leaf every fly must be destroyed. As soon as the flrst root 
agrpears at the drainage liole let them be shifted intact, and without injury, into their blooming pots, 
making sure that every pot is well drained, for no plant is more liable to become sickly and yellow in 
sour soil tluin the Calceolaria. On the first signs of sharp weather place in a, house near the glass, with 
temperature not above 50°, loith plenty of moisture, and as soon as the pots become partly filled with roots 
give liquid manure once a week, and stakeout and fumigate thoroughly just before they show flowers, 
and the result will be a grand sight. Some plants die off suddenly at the blooming time; this is gencralhj 
caused by over watering. Sec Cultural Directions for Primulas.
