ON THE CULTURE OF MIGNONETTE IN POTS. 1 1 



fix a board, with a piece cut out from the side up to the centre ; the 

 truss of flowers is thus brought to the middle, and a hand glass is 

 placed over for protection, which materially contributes to induce the 

 flowers to expand more fully than would otherwise be the case. 



I see that Mr. Lynn requests, in the December Cabinet, a list of 

 some of the best Geraniums for showing at floral exhibitions. I 

 annex a list of the kinds which I have seleeted to grow for exhibition, 

 the major part of which I flowered the past season, and in conse- 

 quence can strongly recommend them as first-rate show flowers. 

 Alicia superba, Annette, Amethyst, Beauty, Bridegroom, Beatrice, 

 Foster's Bridesmaid, Clarissa, Conservative, Comte de Paris, Coro- 

 nation, Corinne, Corona, Criterion, Duenna, Diadematum rubescens*, 

 Diadematum superbum, Emily, Elizabeth, Eliza superba, Erectum, 

 Florence, Firebrand, Fosteri rosea, Fanny Garth, Gauntlet, Grand 

 Duke, Gaines, Janus, Jupiter, Jehu, Jewess, Joan of Arc, Juba, 

 King John, Life Guardsman, Lady Carlisle, Lady Murray, Lady

 Masterpiece, Mabel, Modesty, Nonsuch, Nymph, Orange Boven, 

 Oliver Twist, Prince Albert (Foster's), Rienzii, Rosetta, Roseum 

 elegans, Ruby, Sultan, Siddonia, Una, Victory, Vulcan, Wildfire. 

 As I did not take notes of the peculiar colours, arrangement of, &c, 

 I could not from memory do it correctly, so decline it wholly. But 

 as no two of them are alike, and every one of them good, a selection 

 that will prove satisfactory can readily be made.

[We feel exceedingly obliged to Mr. Cock for the favour of the 

 communication sent for insertion in the Cabinet. The plants which 

 he exhibited as an amateur at the London Horticultural Society 

 Shows very far exceeded all others we ever saw, and the perfection of 

 growth was much beyond what we had' previously conceived to be 

 possible. — Conductor.]
