210 THE FLORIST. 



HARMONIOUS DISTRIBUTION OF COLOURS IN STANDS 



OR COLLECTIONS OF DAHLIAS. 

 I WILL feel obliged by your noticing one or two typogi-aphical errors in 

 my paper on this subject which appeared in your June number. 

 Trivial as they may appear, they have the effect of rendering some 

 portions of the article unintelligible. 



In the sentence commencing with the penultimate line of page 166, 

 the transposition of the monosyllables no and an conveys a meaning 

 directly opposite to that really expressed. The sentence should stand 

 thus : — " He who would do this must possess an eye correct to 

 fastidiousness, a mind imbued with the love of art, and an intuitive 

 taste, mellowed and nurtured by judgment. I apprehend it is no easy 

 matter, &c., &c." 



Again, the incomprehensible passage which begins in the fourth line 

 of page 168 should read as follows : — " Possibly the amateur will 

 scarcely ever grow plants in such profusion as to ensure the requisite 

 number of every colour. I fear we can scarcely expect, in his case, a 

 really good and telHng arrangement. With gi'owers for sale it is 

 another matter, &c." A. S. H-
