AWARDED THE QREAT SILVER CUP. 
Sow in August, and from the moment they are up do everything to keep 
them growing. Rain water is absolutely necessary. Let them be carefully 
shifted from the small pot to the 5-inch. Let the night temperature and moisture 
be such as to cause a nice refreshing dew to stand on the surface of the leaves 
every morning. This wards oft' insects and gives vigour to the plant, but it 
should be dispelled during the day by the admission of air. Keep all green 
fly away, if coddled in a house, they are almost sure to be attacked. If so, 
the most effectual means must be adopted by placing them in a lofty position 
and fumigating. As soon as the first root appears at the drainage hole, let 
them he shifted intact and without injury into their blooming pots, making 
sure that every pot is well drained, for no plant is more liable to become sickly 
and yellow in wet sour soil than the Calceolaria. As soon as the pots become 
well filled with roots, give liquid manure once a week, and stake out and 
fumigate thoroughly just before they show flowers, and the result will be a 
grand sight. Apply soot and bone meal to give darker foliage.
