ScrophulariacecB. This is a favourite genus, and 
contains some very showy species, from which an 
almost countless number of handsome hybrids have 
been raised and are raising. The herbaceous and 
shrubby kinds are chiefly cultivated. They thrive 
in a turfy loam, peat and sand mixed, or any kind 
of rich, open, sandy garden mould seems to suit 
them. The place most favourable to their suc- 
cessful growth is a pit or frame, where they must 
be potted and watered with judgment. Some cul- 
tivators turn them out in the flower-garden, where 
they make a brilliapt display ; others flower them 
in pots, with perfect success in the greenhouse; 
the latter way is generally preferred for the rare 
and superior kinds. Young cuttings planted in 
soil, under a glass, root freely ; they are also in- 
creased from seed, which it is recommended to sow 
as soon as ripe. The annual species require to be 
sown in heat, and when up, potted oflF, and after- 
wards brought on for flowering in the greenhouse.

Calendula, Linn. Named from calendce, the first day

positae. A genus of showy plants, among which is 
the old and well-known C. officinalis, or common 
marigold. This species was formerly used in 
soups and broths, but is now little regarded. The 
greenhouse species thrive well in loam and peat 
mixed ; and cuttings root freely in sand, under 
a glass. The half-hardy annuals it is recom- 
mended to sow in a gentle heating hotbed, from 
whence they must be transplanted into the open 
ground ; the hardy kinds merely require to be 
sown in the open borders. Synonyme: 1. C.
