Lamp black (Mori de Fumea) half a part, 



Water tea parts ; 

 Mix these in a glass or pot Mortar, at first only adding as much water as will 

 mix it well, then add the remainder of the water, when placed in a vessel, let 

 it he well shaked up from time to time and in a few days it will be ready 

 for use. This is not only excellent for labelling plants, but also for marking 

 objects it is wished to preserve in low, wet, situations, and for marking key,

FLORAL EXHIBITIONS. 



We have had numerous accounts of the Floral exhibitions held throughout 

 the country, forwarded to us. In several instances, however, the names of 

 the persons winning prizes were only given, and not the names of the flowers ; 

 from the first of our commencing the Floricultural Cabinet we have refused 

 to insert such accounts, not having in them anything to benefit our readers. 

 Where the names of the flowers are given we consider it of interest and 

 value, inasmuch as it shows which kinds are most superior for the desired 

 purposes, especially with what are usually termed Florist's flowers, such as 

 Dahlias, Carnations, Pinks, &c. 



Hull and East Riding Floral and Horticultural Society. — This 

 Society held their fifth exhibition on the 15th of August at the Public-rooms, 

 Jarratt-street. The flowers possessed most superior excellence of quality ; 

 the piccotees upon yellow grounds surpassed everything hitherto exhibited 

 iu this place, particularly the pans shown by Dr. Horner, and Mr. H. S. Nor- 

 man. The plants, by Mr. Simon Appleton, gardener to Avison Terry, Esq., 

 merit great praise. A pan of Seedling Carnations and Piccotees, raised by 

 Dr. - Horner, and bloomed this season for the first time, were of superior 

 quality, and many of them offer as first-rate flowers. A stand of very beau- 

 tiful and rare flowers were exhibited by Messrs. Forsyth and Ward, of 

 Anlaby. as also a fine tray of splendid Panzies, all from their nursery. The 

 whole exhibition was most pleasing and gratifying to the numerous visitors, 

 and reflected great credit to the members of the Society.
