MISCELLANY OP NOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE. 



On Pelargoniums and Fuchsias. — I have lately been re-perusing your account 

 of the London shows held during the past season, that 1 might select therefrom 

 some of the most successful Geraniums and Fuchsias, and intend to add, such 

 as are different to those I already possess, to my collections. The following list 

 tells the number of occasions from three upwards upon which each kind has been 

 exhibited in prize collections, and undoubtedly all of them are good flowers. 

 Probably, therefore, your insertion of this in the Cabinet may be of assistance to 

 some of your numerous subscribers, as it has to An Amateur Florist.
