MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 69 



open borders, even in common soil, have a tendency to produce a luxuriant 

 foliage, and but very few blossoms ; each luxuriance, however, is easily pre- 

 vented, by using' a mixture of sand or peat with common soil. 



In the list of plants here given, we have only inserted such as keep in bloom 

 for several successive months ; there are many other- beautiful plants, as Gla- 

 dioluses, Ixias, Watsonias, and new Azaleas, Rhododendrons, &c, that will 

 flourish and blossom equally well : but their blooming season being so short 

 and at so early a season of the spring, as to be liable to injury, we have on 

 that account omitted them. Pelargoniums are also omitted ; the number of 

 varieties, species, and colours being so extensive, we could not possibly par- 

 ticularize them within our limits. All the kinds, however, will flower freely 

 in the open borders. Tbose of a luxuriant habit should be planted in sandy 

 loam and peat, to prevent a mass of strong roots and foliage, and cause the 

 production of flowering shoots ; and others of a more delicate habit, should 

 be grown in rich vegetable mould, from decayed leaves, &c. and peat soil. 



The period for turning out plants into the open borders, varies with the 

 situation of climate, season, &c.: but it is better to be a week too late than 

 run the risk of early destruction. We purpose giving some directions before 

 the Autumn, relative to the best means of keeping up a stock of plants for 

 the open borders.
