MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 



the Floricultural Cabinet; as some of its readers may be able to account for 

 these singular productions of nature. Mignonette (for instance) would 

 here and there throw out a strong shoot, resembling tree mignonette, without 

 perfume; and the seed pods formed without seed in them, and larger than 

 usual. Out of those pods sometimes grew flowering tops of fragrant Mig- 

 nonette. She has felt much pleasure in cultivating the seeds 6he brought 

 from England, and has observed in many of the plants she raised, that alter 

 the first flower or two had opened, many of the succeeding flowers became 

 green, and scarcely like the flower in shape; somewhat similar to a calyx 

 without a corolla. On the Hibiscus Africanus, some shoots flowered very 

 well, and others produced only small, green calyxes. She could only save 

 one Nasturtium seed, all the flowers being imperfect, green and diminu- 

 tive. 



A friend in England has regularly sent her the Floricultural Cabinet, from 

 which she has derived much useful information. 



The following one hundred sorts of Heartsease were recently exhibited at 

 a Floricultural Exhibition, which are of first rate characters, and obtained 

 the first prize. I took the names of each, and sent the list for insertion in 

 the Cabinet. Those marked with an asterick I considered the best.
