CULTURE CARE OF Calceolaria 
GOLDEN NUGGET 
SD Seah gh Wf 4 
A new introduction perennial Calceolaria that has been_tested and” 
proved more than satisfactory is Calceolaria “GOLDEN NUGGET:~ 
This plant has withstood Colorado river water, California heat, and the 
plants haven’t suffered from the smog. 
It is a stocky, vigorous, profusely blooming plant that grows in either 
sun or shade. The pouch-like vivid lemon yellow flowers, in clusters con- 
taining from 25 to 30 individual blooms, cover the plants from May 
through September. 
In full sun “GOLDEN NUGGET” grows up to 2 feet tall and spreads 
about the same size. In shade or partial shade it grows sprawly and forms 
a colorfully attractive ground cover during the summer, besides being a 
restful green in the winter. 
This new Calceolaria “Purse Plant” is an attractive addition to your 
perennial flower bed, because the vivid yellow blossoms form a delightful 
color contrast when planted among or near Aster Frikarti, Statice Perezic, 
Blue Triumph Verbenas or any flowering plants. 
It makes an ideal flowering potted plant, too. However, in shade the 
plant grows loosely, the branches gracefully arch and cascade.
