MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE H3 



which are set out for the original. There was also a splendid show of many 

 other hybrids, with flowers of various hues, certainly the finest kinds we 

 ever saw. Further descriptions of them we will give herealter. 



Mathiola odoratissima. A most interesting plant ot the well-known 

 old species, called the Night-scented Stock. The plants are, however, much 

 more vigorous, the flowers more than twice the size, and of a paler colour. 

 They are delightfully fragrant, and the plant merits a place in every col- 

 lection where a ready access can be had to it in the evening. 



Mr. Chandler informed us that during the last severe winter, that all their 

 fine collection of hybrid Rhododendrons, which were growing in the open 

 ground and were raised between R. Cataubiense and U. arborea, had not 

 suffered in the least, whilst those from R. ponticum and R. arborea, were 

 all dead, 



Miltonia spectabilis. A new Brazilian Orchideous plant, bas lately 

 bloomed at Messrs. Lodiges's, also with J.Baker, Esq.. Springfield. The 

 flower is produced in a scape, of only one in each, the sepals and petals 

 are of a pale greenish yellow, and the labellum of a fine violet colour. 



REFERENCE TO PLATE. 



It being the season when beds of Pansies can be successfully made to 

 bloom during the end of summer, and when they are exhibited at most 

 shows, we have given the present plate as suitable to the time, that our 

 readers may see that the kinds were exhibited, or procure them for 

 cultivation. . 



The four Pansies we have given are the four most pertect flowers we 

 could find during a tour we have recently made to view and procure all 

 the best kinds, and attending several of the Metropolitan exhibitions, as 

 well as others in the country. We are sorry to state that our engraver has, 

 from not understanding our order correctly, misplaced the names of two ot 

 the pansies, which we did not discover, till too late to remedy. The one 

 named Duke of Marlborough, should be '■Neplus Ultra," and that named 

 Ne plus TTltra, be "Duke of Marlborough." 



FLORICULTURAL CALENDAR FOR JUNE. 



Annuals.— See pages 43, and 72, Vol. I.— Those annual plants that have 

 not yet been transplanted out, should now be done, in cloudy and showery 

 weather, keeping as much eartn to their roots as possible, now supporting 

 those with sticks that require it — thin out where too thick. Tender annuals 

 ma} now be turned out into the flower borders ; they should be refreshed at 

 least once a day with water, and if the sun be very powerful they will re- 

 quire to be shaded, till they have taken fresh root: those that remain to 

 flower in pots, must be frequently supplied with water, repotting, &c, as they 

 require it. Finish transplanting perennial and biennial plants, sown in 

 spring. 



iRoses.— Cutting of Garden kinds may be put off by the middle "of the 

 month , insert them firmly in the soil, and cover with a hand-glass — a shady 

 border is the best situation for them. Cuttings of most kinds of Greenhouse 

 plants should now be put off. 



Carnations and Pinks. — Laying the former, and piping the latter, will be 

 required by the end of the month. Seedlings should be planted out singly 

 into pots or open borders, Those Carnations in pots require particular at-
