Martin’s Calceolarias 
Knowing the importance of Calceolarias to the grower, we have exercised more than 
the usual care in selecting suitable varieties, and strains of seed of those varieties. 
Every precaution is used to protect the germination of the seed. New crop seed is 
usually available in late August or early September. For flowering in March sow 
seed late in June and successive or later sowing may be made up to the last of 
August, for continued bloom.
