A LIST, AND CULTURE, OF CINERARIAS. 



BY AMICUS CINERAWUS, CLAPHAM, SURIIEY. 



On perusal of the December Cabinet, I was pleased to notice that 

 one of your numerous subscribers requested some person to furnish 

 him with a list of the best Cinerarias. I think, as an early flowering 

 plant, we have not one that is more deserving a place in the green- 

 house or conservatory. On account of the splendid variety of colours 

 and profusion in blooming, it is most certainly a tribe that cannot be 

 too highly prized. Being a great admirer of it, I have visited the 

 principal collections in the south, as Henderson's, &c. ; but of all I 

 have seen, the collection of Mr. Joseph Smith, nurseryman, Wester- 

 ham, in Kent, is the most superior. I took a list of the kinds, with 

 descriptions of the flowers, which I forward for insertion in an early 

 number of the Cabinet.
