Knowing the importance of Calceolarias 
to the grower, we have exercised more 
than the usual cure 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 Au¬ 
gust or early September. For flowering- 
in March sow seed late in June and sue- 
eessive or later sowing may be made up 
to the last of August, for continued bloom.

superior to outdoor summer grown. While

popular and produces the largest spikes, 
the Umbellata varieties are also very nice

seed in January for cutting material 
through May and June. Start more seed 
a month later.
