We have tested this method in a small way, and so far have 

 every reason to be satisfied with it, especially in the case of a 

 plant Avhich had evidently become diseased, but which on 

 being repotted, as described by Mr. Pearson, has recovered its 

 health, and is now groAvin<ij vigorously ; we believe, therefore, 

 that the treatment is judicious. 



Duchesse de Nassau, which we received from ]\Ir. Bull, of 

 Chelsea, is a soft delicate pink, a colour in which we have 

 been somewhat deficient, and the petals at the centre are mar- 

 gined with deep crimson-cerise, giving it a very attractive 

 appearance.
