CaIceOIariNS.

Calceolarias are becoming better
known and gaining friends each year.
A writer in Gardening has told how to
propagate them as follows
Cuttings should be rooted in August
and the young plants grown along as
cool as possible. As spring approaches
they will make vigorous growth and
potting must be attended to. Never
let them become root bound. A light
and sunny bench will be suitable
place, with plenty of air and a morn
ing Swinging. Greentiy is best dis
posed of by mild applications of nico
tine water. Never plunge them in to-
bacco stems, or the bottom foliage will
soon disappear.
