FROM OUR ENGLISH EXCHANGES. 



The Gardeners' Magazine. 

 Hydrocyanic Gas.— E. F. Hawes, 

 head gardener to the Eoyal Botanic So- 

 ciety, writes: "A number of experiments 

 are' now being conducted in flio glass- 

 houses and gardens of the Eoyal Botanic 

 Society, Eegent's Park, with a view to 

 thoroughly test the value of hydrocyanic 

 acid gas for the destruction of insect 

 pests on plants. The gas is used as a 

 fumigant. Although it is too early yet 

 to arrive at a general conclusion, or to 

 make recommendations, it seems cer- 

 tain that with proper care hydrocyanic 

 acid gas is safe and effective. Its action 

 on mealy bug is all that can be desired, 

 and the" plants themselves do not suffer. 

 When the gas is more easily obtained, 

 and better understood, I feel quite sure 

 it will be adopted bv all growers for the 

 destruction of insect pests. Other mater- 

 ials are also being experimented with, 

 and from the same point of view, and 

 there is every reason to assume that ere 

 long some useful remedies will be placed 

 in the hands of cultivators." 



Cactus Dahlia Dainty. — Cactus Dah- 

 lia Daintv. which obtained a first-class 

 certificate" from the >^ational Dahlia So- 

 ciety, and also an award of merit from 

 the"Eoval Horticultural Society, ou Sep- 

 tember" 1.5 last, very nearly approaches 

 the ideal we have repeatedly held up m 

 connection with the cactus section. It 

 is of good form, attractive color, and has 

 stiff, wiry stems that hold the blooms 

 erect and clear of the foliage without 

 artificial assistance. The flowers are not 

 of the largest size, but this can in no 

 way bo regarded as a fault. The coloi' 

 is. "for the most part, a pleasing shade 

 of rose, but the central segments are 

 heavily shaded with old gold, as also are 

 the bases of the outer segments, this 

 bright glow of color, combined with the 

 bright rose, giving the flower a charming 

 and dainty appearance. This new va- 

 riety is one raised by Hobbies, Ltd., of 

 Dereham, Norfolk. 



Chrysanthemums. — C. Harman 

 Pavne writes: "Although I have for 

 some years past had correspondents in 

 almost every country in Europe where 

 chrysanthemums are grown, yet until this 

 week 1 never had one in Spain. It is 

 interesting to find that even in that coun- 

 try the gorgeous golden flower from the 

 far east is likely to make a foothold. 

 An English gentleman, writing to mo 

 from one of the northern towns, is de- 

 sirous of knowing the rules upon which 

 cut blooms are judged. He rightly says 

 that he presumes something besides size 

 is required to gain a prize. ' ' 



Chrysanthemums. — No Japanese 

 chi-ysanthemum has stood out so conspic- 

 uously good in the leading exhibits dur- 

 ing tiie present chrysanthemum season as 

 the yellow, graceful F. S. Vallis. Mrs. 

 Mileham has run it close, perhaps, but 

 M. Calvat's seedling named after the 

 enthusiastic and highly successful young 

 grower of Bromham, Chippenham, has 

 been first favorite. Although of large 

 size, this variety is exquisitely beautiful, 

 the long, drooping florets making up a 

 deep and refined flower of great attrac- 

 tiveness.
