OLD AND NEW ANNUALS. 



GROWir FOR TRIAL AT CHISWICK, 1860. 



The Report of the Floral Committee, drawn 

 up by Thomas Moore, F. L.S., occupies 

 nineteen pasres of the Horticultural Society's 

 Journal. But a considerable portion of the 

 details have no interest whatever for our 

 readers. It will be remembered that we 

 submitted a carefully prepared report on 

 annuals grown for trial at Stoke Newing- 

 ton in the Garden Oracle of 1860, nnd we 

 shoiila have added to that in the issue for 

 1861, had it not happened that the ungenial 

 weather of the last season prevented us 

 arriviim at definite conclusions on the kinds 

 we had taken in hand for comparison. For 

 this same reasou the report from Chiswick 



is not to bu considered final ; and Mr. 

 Moore distinctly states as much in his intro- 

 ductory remarks, and he adds what is also 

 true, that "some [annual flowers] may 

 even have preferred the moisture and com- 

 parative coolness which were prevalent." 

 But the numl)er of these would of necessity 

 be few, because the majority of garden 

 aimuals come from climates much warmer 

 ihan that of Britain. In considering this 

 rt-port, we shall omit all such particulars 

 as have been submitted to our readers ou 

 former occasions, as the result of our own 

 experiences, for mere repetitions can liave 

 no value, no matter on whose authority
