from seed, and by sowing early in the Spring may be had in bloom 15 months 
from the time of sowing ; is hardy and specially adapted for pot cnltnrc.

servatories, halls, or corridors it is a most useful and decorative plant.

during the Summer months, and giving plenty of meisture and liquid 
manure when pot bound. Per pkt.. Is.

507. H. H. p. CannaS ( Cann«<E), (Indian Shot) — These give a very beanti- 
ful and tropical aspect to pleasure grounds, by their stately growth and broad, 
mawive foliage, relieved by rich crimson-scarlet, orange, or yellow flowers 
during the late Summer months ; their foliage, comprising various shades of 
rich green, glaucous, and chocolate-crimson leaf-tints, fits them admirably for 
effective groups, their appearance rendering them a striking contrast to other 
plants. They are also invalnable for large pot plants, as portable specimens 
in pleasure-ground decoration, and equally so for Summer groups in large 
conservatories, in which their great diversity of foliage appears to advantage, 
and they are very ornamental for any purpose. Owing to the seeds being 
so very hard (hence the name of Indian shot) occasionally considerable 
time elapses before germination takes place, it is always advisable, so as to 
assist vegetation, to soak the .seeds in water. We obtain good results by 
putting the seeds in a tin box, covering them with water, and then placing 
it upon the hot j)ipes or in a propagating frame, and as the outer covering 
is broken by the germs starting into growth, so the seedlings are removed to 
small pots, and kept in a temperature of about 70 to 76 degrees, and from 
then onwards they will be found of easy culture. Being of strong growth 
and somewhat voracious feeders, they require good rich soil and perfect 
drainage, and when the pots become full of roots our Real Manure should 
be given as a liquid once a week ; if this is used, and the plants kept in 
6-inch pots, and the side shoots cut off from the parent plant as they appear, 
large flowers and gorgeous colours will always be obtained. 3 to 6 ft.

Ine Calceolanas from seed that you supplied Mrs. Jessopp with have been splendid, about 18 inches high and 20 inches across the top of them. 
They are the best any where about here, and were grown with your plant food. They have been in bloom ten weeks. I have given your address to 
several ladies, so I hope you will have more orders from this part.
