QUERIES: 



On Dry Rot, &c. — I should feel much obliged to you, or any of" your 

 correspondents, for their opinion on 'Mr. Kyanse's Supplement, for the pre- 

 servation of timber from Dry Rot.' And whether there would be any danger 

 in introducing some trellising into a greenhouse, and likewise the new roof- 

 ing of a large grape-house. The vines are to be trained under the rafters: 

 both rafters and trellising have been laying in the tank some time, and are 

 now ready for use : I understand it is a deadly poison ! "ihould not the wood 

 be well drained and painted before it is put upon the Louse? Wonld not 

 the air in the house be impregnated, so as to be injurious when closely shut 

 up ? An early answer to the above by some reader acquainted with the sub- 

 ject, will mucli iblige

REMARKS. 



On Raising Native Hyacinths.— The plants which have flowered in 

 glasses or pots produce belter offsets than those raised in beds ; these to- 

 gether with the mother and now reduced bulb, plant at the usual season. 

 The old bulb affotds considerable nourishment to the young plants, which 

 rise witb great strength the following spring. When the leaves assume a 

 yellow hue the plants are to be taken up, and replanted the same day in 

 prepared beds; the stronger by themselves. The strongest plants will show 

 blossoms the following spring, some of them haviug from twelve to twenty 

 bells, or pips; these should be reduced to three or four, which should be 

 left on the extremity to draw up the sap. Were the whole suffered to re-
