CALCEOLARIAS. 
CALLIOPSIS OR COREOPSIS. 
These beautiful freo-flowering hardy Annuals are exceedingly valuable- 
for garden decoration. They succeed almost anywhere, but are of 
especial valuo for growing in town gardens, where they thrive better 
than most annuals. They remain in bloom for a long period during the 
Summer and Autumn, and the blooms of all tho taller growing varieties 
will be found very useful for cutting. The beautiful golden-yellow 
C. stillmanni blooms within five weeks of the seeds being sown. The Tom 
Thumb varieties are exceedingly pretty.

' •• ] might say the previous Seeds I had from you have been the best that money

We have much pleasure in offering our splendid strain of Calceolaria 
hybrids, which has been carefully saved from a magnificent collection 
during the past season, and been awarded many First Frizes. The 
flowers will be fount! of large size, beautiful form, and tigred and spotted 
with the most exquisite and brilliant markings. 
CALCEOLARIA— DANIELS' CHOICEST STRAIN. 
Sow the seeds of these in May, June, or July, in well-drained pots or 
seed-pans ; cover tho drainage with rough fibrous loam, and fill up the 
Burfaco 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 tho pots 
in a cool frame or under a handlight, taking caro to shade from tho sun. 
Remove tho piece 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, bo 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.
