On Marshai. Vn.t-Aits' {Indica Botirboniana) Rosu. — I have had a plant of 

 the above Rose in my greenhouse two seasons; and though the plant appears

 flowered. — June, 1846.

 in hot or cold water, and whether it is necessary for this purpose to have the very 

 best tobacco ? Mr. Harrison's notice of this question in his next Number, if 

 time allows, will much oblige.

 even syringing the plants under the leaves as well as over, will answer effectually. 

 The former is more expensive, and sometimes attended with dauger; the dip- 

 ping is free from it. We obtain our liquid from the tobacconist, at from 8</. to 

 I*. per gallon. The liquid is very strong; so that not having to prepare it, we
