On a double-flowered wild PANSEY.-Bemg a reader of your Cabinet, 

 and having just noticed at page 207 of the last volume a remark ou the double 

 Pansey, I offer you the following remark, if you think it worth insertion in an 



^Havhig travelled over some of the Sidlaw hills in Perthshire last summer, I 

 espied a kind of Pansey of a fine yellow, with a dark centre as large as a six- 

 pence, and of good form, having on an average from six to ten petals. I regret 

 that I did not pay more attention to it, and introduce it to my collection, that it 

 might operate as a hybrider under my observation. This I promise, however, to 

 do, and may in time be able to let you know the result. As the plants are 

 plentiful if you or any of your readers wish to have one as a specimen, 1 will 

 endeavour to furnish it for such as may apply: through the medium of your 

 publication. ., j-

FLORICULTURAL CALENDAR FOR MARCH. 



Anemones.— Should now be planted as early in the month as can be done. 



Amaryllises, and other liliaceous bulbous plants which have been kept dor- 

 mant, may now be repotted, and put into an increased temperature. 



Annuals, Hardy.— Some of the most hardy kinds, to bloom early in the 

 summer, may now be sown in warm parts of the country, or situations well pro- 

 tected, but in cold places not until the end of the month. The best method oi 

 sowing the small seeds iu patches is, to have a quantity of finely silted soil ; 

 spread a portion where desired, after scattering the seeds, sprinkle a little more 

 soil over them, and then press it closely upon the seeds, which will assist them 

 in vegetating properly. 



Annuals, Ti:ni>kh.— Such as have been sown and may be up, should have all 

 possible air given to prevent their being drawn up weakly. In watering those in 

 pots they must not be watered over the tops, or many of the sorts will be rotted 

 by it. The best method is to flood over the surface of each pot, always using 

 water that is new milk warm. Those annuals sown 10 frames must be watered 

 a requisite) with a very fine syringe, or pan rose to sprinkle with; but the 

 best plan is to take advantage of gentle rains. 

 Auriculas.— Those requiring top dressing should be done immediately, by
