AWARDED THE GREAT SILVER CUP. 
Sow in August, and from the moment they are up do everything to keep , 
them growing. Rain water is absolutely necessary. Let them be carefully | 
shifted from the small pot to the 5-inch. Let the night temperature and moisture '■ 
be. such as to cause a nice refreshing dew to stand on the surface of the leaves 
every morning. This wards off insects and gives vigour to the plant, hut it 
should be dispelled during the day by the admission of air. Keep all green 
lly away, if coddled in a house, they are almost sm-e to be attacked. If so, 
the most cfleetual means must be adopted by placing them in a lofty position 
and fumigating. As soon as the first root appears at the drainage bole, let 
them be shifted intact and without injury into their blooming pots, making 
sm-e that every pot is well drained, for no plant is more liable to become sickly 
and yellow in wet sour soil than the Calceolaria. As soon as the pots become 
well filled with roots, give liquid manure once a week, and stake out and . 
lumigate thoroughly just before they show flowers, and the result will be a ' 
grand sight. Apply soot and bone meal to give darker foliage. |
