MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 



QUERIES. 



On a List op Flowering Shrubs and ornamental Trees. — You would 

 much oblige a Subscriber and Old Correspondent, by obtaining thro'Jgh the 

 medium of your Work, the following information— a list of flowering shrubs 

 and ornamental trees, best calculated " to face up" a shrubbery, with some 

 idea of their price, where agood selection can be obtained, and particularis- 

 ing such as thrive best on a chalky soil. 



On a List of Stove and Greenhouse Plants, &c. — A subscriber wishes 

 also that you would mention (when better things are not abundant) the 

 names of a few stove and greenhouse plants, that, like the Thunbergia, do 

 best in bog, (not peat) soil, and whether you have tried the experiment of 

 mixing old tan with the mould given to the Hoya carnosa, and with what 

 success. Perhaps, also, through the same medium you would inform him 

 from whence that sharp white sand is procured, and at what price, in toler- 

 able quantities, which is so necessary for the propagation of cuttings, &c, 

 It un_, be obtained at one penny per pound of most grocers, or iron- 

 mongers. If a large quantity be desired it might be procured much 

 cheaper from Dover or Brighton, and facilities for its cheap convey- 

 ance are afforded by water. — Conductor. 



On Stove aquatic Plants — A subscriber would be obliged if soma 

 additional remarks (for the subject has been treated of before but not much 

 at length) were given on the cultivation of, and soil for stove aquatics. 



On Tulips. — A constant reader of the Cabinet wishes to ask some of the 

 experienced Tulip fancier's, whether all the flowers broke from the same 

 breeders take the same name with the first that was broken, or are they 

 merely reckoned as different strains of the same flower. Is it the case that 

 they are sometimes altogether different flowers. Having this season planted 

 some celebrated named breeders, I am anxious to be informed as to this 

 point, perhaps ftlr. Groom would have the kindness to set me right in this 

 respect, which would be esteemed a great favour by 



Lincolmhire . Jan. 1S88. An enthusiastic Tulip Grower.
