C. crenatiflora seems to have left its impressmost distinctly on the greenhouse forms. The calceo-larias are grown for the variously colored and oftenspotted slipper-like flowers. The shrubby forms, grownmitch in England, do not thrive in the heat of theAmerican summer. The cultivation of the herbaceous and the shrubbykinds of calceolarias is about the same, with the dif-ference that the herbaceous kinds are nearly alwaysgrown from seeds, while the shrubby varieties areoftener grown from cuttings.—Seeds may be sown fromthe end of March until the first of September, accordingto the size of the plant required. Those sown early aremore easily carried through the hot months than anythat are propagated in the end of May or in the monthof June. Sow the seeds in shallow pans with gooddrainage in a compost of equal parts of sand and of.
