loamy soil. The plant must have bad a most splendid effect. It is further 

 stated that the best mode of propagation is, to bring some strong roots into 

 pots, and then to graft scions upon them. Cuttings will succeed it, when put 

 oft, the pot be placed in a greenhouse until the base of the cuttings become 

 caloused, (a discernable swelling), then being taken into a higher temper- 

 ature, the stove roots are speedily induced to push forth, 



Correa Milnerii. — Mr. Groom has a good stock of this new and fine 

 flowering kind, but in consequence of propagating so easily, the price is two 

 gaineas a plant. The blossoms are large, and of a fine rosy red colour. It 

 is a very desirable plant for the greenhouse or conservatory. 



Ipomea Sellouii. — We saw a tine plant of this new species in bloom at 

 Mr. Groom's. The flower is of a fine rosy-purple colour, having a dark 

 eyed tube, with five darker plaits down the corolla, and each blossom is at 

 least three inches across. Being produced in clusters and very numerously, 

 renders it a most ornamental plant, for the plant stove, warm greenhouse, or 

 conservatory. The plant has a very fine foliage, and is a rapid grower. 



Golphemie aurea. We saw a plant of it in bloom 'with Mr. Groom, in 

 April, in the greenhouse, and the same plant we saw removed into the plant 

 stove, in fine bloom in October, so that it had been blooming for more than 

 six months. It is a neat growing plant, ab»ut four feet high, branching, and 

 each branch terminating with a spike of golden coloured flowers, each bios- 

 som being about half an inch across. 



Chorizema cordata. — Plants of this very interesting and beautiful 

 species have been in bloom in most of the public nursery establishments 

 around London, most of the Summer. It is a neat growing plant, flowering 

 profusely, and is a very conspicuous object in the collections. It ought to be 

 grown in every greenhouse and conservatory. It is a very rapid grower and 

 propagates readily when struck in sand and heat. 



Hibbertia pedunculata.— An interesting plant growing in the green- 

 house at Messrs. Loddiges's. It grows about a foot high, bushy, flowering 

 most profusely lor some months, and with its blight golden flowers, has a 

 showy and pretty appearance. It may be procured very cheap, it merits 

 a place in every collection. 



EDITOR OF MONTHLY NOTES. 



It is our purpose ia future in each number of the Cabinet, to insert the 

 substance of our monthly observations and remarks, upon everything con- 

 nected with floriculture that may come under our notice. In recently look- 

 ing over the floral periodicals and gardening works, we noticed in the Gar- 

 deners Magazine a very interesting account of Uedford Lodge, Camden Hill, 

 near London, the Suburban Villa of His Grace the Duke of tiedford. The' 

 particulars have been furnished by Mr. Caie, the excellent gardener' there. 

 There are six well executed wood engravings given, exhibiting views of the 

 mansion, grounds and flower garden. The cultivation of flowers, it appears, 

 is a principal object there, and a very striking feature in the management of 

 the flower garden, is to produce the most brilliant display of flowers during 

 May, June and July, the period when His Grace most usually visits there 

 We have been informed by those visiting the place, that the display of flow- 

 ers during those months, and even up to October, is such as to be quite dazz- 

 ling. In order to have the finest flowering annuals in full bloom as early i„ 

 the season as May and June. Air. Caie sows the seed as ea.lv as January 

 viz., such as Nemophilla insigni.s, Colliunia grandiilora, Gilia tricolor, Cilia 

 achillcaefolia, Collomia ooccinea. Platystemon californicus, Eschscholtzia 

 crocea, &c. When the display of these are declining, a second exhibition is 

 produced by perennial plants, which are grown permanently in their com- 

 partments, such as Oenothera macrocarpa which succeeds Nemophilla 



1US1»UIS.
