CALCEOLARIAS. 
H T We have much pleasure in offering our splendid strain 
of Calceolaria hybrida, which has been carefully saved from 
a magnificent collection during the past season, and been 
awarded many First Prizes. The flowers will be found of 
large size, beautiful form, and tigred and spotted with the 
most exquisite and brilliant markings. 
DANIELS’ lCALCEOLARIA HYBRIDA. From a Photograph 
Sow the seeds of these in May, June, or July, in well-drained pots or 
seed-pans; cover the drainage with rough fibrous loam, and fill up the 
surface with fine light sifted mould and silver sand ; water with a fine rose 
water-pot, after which sow the seed, placing a piece of glass over the pot 
to retain the moisture, no covering of soil being required. Place the pots 
in a cool frame or under a handlight, taking care to shade from the sun. 
Remove the pieoe of glass as soon as the plants are up, and when large 
enough to handle, prick off one inch apart into pots or pans made up as 
before, placing in a somewhat close situation, and when of sufficient size 
pot off singly, and treat in a similar manner to that recommended for 
tender annuals. Calceolarias should however be always kept in a cool, 
moist position, a dry heated atmosphere being very prejudicial to their 
growth, and they should be kept well supplied with fresh air.
