Mao'h has bosn done duriug damp days in pottiug, and 

 much more remains to be done in subdividmg Florists' and 

 Fancy Pelargomums so as to have successions. We hope

 find nothing hotter than the dark Dennis's Alma, the lighter 

 Gauntlet, and the white Alba multiflora. We must endeavour 

 to overhaul Poinsettias, Justicias, and Euphorbias, which have 

 been lying on their sides in a cool place to keep them safe. 

 These 'are° such charming decorative plants in winter that we 

 must now set them to grow.— B. F.
