N. DlRECTIO>'S FOR SOWIXG CALCEOLARIAS A^'B OTHER SEEDS OF GrEEKHOUSE PlANTS OF Delicate Habits.—The cultivation of the Calceolaria from the seed requires a httle extra care in the earlv stage of its culture. The seeds should be sown in pots prepared in the following manner: The pot to be half filled with drainage; over that rough sittings of the mould, and the surface covered with soil as fine as possible, half of which should be composed of silver sand. When prepared thus it shoidd be watered with a fine rose, immediately after which sow the seed carefully without any covering of soil. The pots should then be placed under a close frame or a hand glass, in a shady part of the garden (no artificial heat being required.) In large establish- ments, of course, they may have propagating or other houses that will do, where the same kind of moist temperature could be obtained; but any exposure to the sim must be carefully guarded against by mats or paper. If the situation is of the proper temperature, they will require watering but vei-y seldom. Directly the seedlings are strong enough, they must be pricked off in pots pre- pared as before, and placed in the same situation; from the store-pots they will require to be pot- ted off singly; after
