Limpsfield, Surrey, seem likely to become general favourites. 
He has been now for many years engaged in it, and every year 
his skill and perseverance have been rewarded by an advance 
in form, size, and markings; the plants which he has exhibited 
at the various exhibitions during the season have been of large 
size, and have attracted general attention, and he informs us 
that they can be kept in bloom from May to October, while 
some of them are likely to form excellent varieties for bedding 
out. It is well known that the Calceolaria suffers much from 
green-fly; but if this is attented to (fumigating so as to keep 
it down whenever it appears), and shading during the midday 
sun, there are no plants of easier culture in the greenhouse 
than these. The varieties now figured are, (1) angustifolia 
superha , and (2) Duke of Wellington ;* the former is a seedling 
from the old angustifolia , and has the advantages of the parent 
plant; erect in habit, it stands the weather well, and lasts on far 
into the autumn. Mr. Burley says, that he has had it bedded 
out for the last two years, and that lie has not seen a single 
plant of it die, as Calceolarias are very apt to do in the summer 
months. It was awarded an extra prize at the Royal Botanic 
Society’s Exhibition at the Regent’s Park, last June. Duke of 
Wellington is a seedling between angustifolia globosa and Ge¬ 
neral Havelock , shrubby and dwarf in growth, like the former, 
but the colour closely approaches the latter well-known variety. 
Being a rich dark-crimson, it makes a first-rate bedding plant. 
Both of these will be sent out next spring. The following 
sorts, raised by Mr. Burley, are both handsome and moderate in 
price: 
Etna : crimson, tinted with violet. 
Little JDorrit: soft yellow. 
Magenta: dark velvet-crimson. 
Princess Helena: yellow. 
Hon. Mrs. Adams : primrose, spotted 
Lady Palmerston: yellow, with red 
spots. 
Victor Emmanuel: red-scarlet, with 
crimson spots. 
General Havelock : rich maroon. 
with crimson. 
The Queen : yellow, cinnabar spots. 
Ambassador: brown, with red spots. 
# These have been selected as valuable bedding varieties. We hope at some 
future time to figure some of the spotted kinds.
