Calceolaria 
The best time to sow Is late in July 
or In August. Sow in pans or in 
shallow pots, using rich soil mixed 
with plenty of sharp sand. Place the pans in shade. In about two 
weeks the young plants appear and the pans must be moved to 
light and given plenty of air. When the plants are large enough to 
handle transplant into flats, spacing them 2x2 inches. Later place 
in small pots and shift as needed. The final transplanting into 
large pots is done in March or April. Use very rich soil with leaf 
mold. Calceolaria requires perfect drainage, plenty of air must never 
suffer from lack of water, will stand lot of cold but no frost. The 
seed is exceedingly fine but germinates readily.
