From this time henceforward they should have great attention 

 with regard to watering. Keep down green-fly as it appears by brush- 

 ing them from the points of the shoots. Turn the pots round occa- 

 sionally, and tie the shoots to the stakes carefully as they progress. 



We take this opportunity of informing those interested, that the 

 exhibition of the National Carnation and Picotee Society will be 

 held at Norwich this season. The day will be shortly announced. 

 Mr. J. J. Colman, Stoke Holy Cross, near Norwich, has accepted the 

 office of honorary secretary, resigned by Mr. Morgan May. It will 

 be a source of great regret to many to learn that we have not only 

 lost Mr. May as secretary, but that we are to lose him altogether, 

 for we believe he is about to leave England. Mr. May will leave an 

 enduring name among Florists. Who has not been charmed with his 

 Juliet, Jessica, Constance, Beatrice, Portia, Ophelia, &c. &c. ; and in 

 Carnations, with Ariel, Duncan, Romeo, Owen Glendower, Justice 

 Shallow, and a whole host of good things.'' This gentleman's success 

 will shew what can be done in a short time, if perseveringly followed : 

 a few years has accomplished what a lifetime may have failed to effect.
