MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 



QUERIES. 



On Peat Soil. — Can you inform me, through the medium of the Cabinet, 

 the best plan to oh tain peat in large quantities, convenient for water carriage? 

 Bristol, 1835. A Constant Reader. 



On the Mimulus. — I should feel particularly obliged if any of your 

 readers would condescend to answer S. P.'s query, as I am quite as anxious 

 to have an answer as he is. Perhaps Mr. Appleby or Mr. Ashford will bo 

 so obliging as to give us the desired information ; if either of them "will 

 have the kindness to do so, they will much oblige

On a White Calceolaria, &c — In your Floricullural Cabinet for August 

 last, you promise a drawing of Mr. Barratt's pure White Shrubby Calceolaria. 

 Being a collector and admirer of that tribe, I am desirous of seeing the 

 drawing. I Lave taken in your work since its commencement, and have 

 recommended it to'mauy of my friends. I reside some distance from London, 

 and being a member of the London Horticultural Society, I should be much 

 gratified if you would insert monthly a report of the Flowers exhibited at 

 the meetings in Regent Street, with the names of the individuals whose 

 produce they are, in the way of Loudon's Magazine, excluding the fruits. 

 Such an arrangement would add much to the interest of your work, and is 

 in strict accordance with its principle.

[We have applied for the account, and, if we succeed in obtaining it, it 

 shall regularly be inserted. — Conductor.] 



On a List of Flowers, &c. — Many of the readers of the Floricultural 

 Cabinet will thank the Editor to favour them with a monthly list of Flowers 

 that will bloom in every month — that in every month there may he some 

 flowers in full bloom. To give the height and colour of each flower; — to 

 give also a description of the cultivation suitable to each flower; — in what 

 way to assort the flowers in the beds, so as to produce the most pleasing 

 appearance in contrast of colour and of height; — to give forms of the beds 

 to suit a small flower garden;— also to add hints how the cottager may orna- 

 ment his cottage garden every month with a few of the less expensive flowers. 

 Such an article or paper in every monthly number of the Floricultural 

 Cabinet, would much increase the value of it to many readers. 



London, 1835. 



[We shall be obliged by the contributions of any of our readers to enablo 

 us to meet the wishes of our correspondent. — Conductor.] 



On a List and Prices of Camellias. — Having been a subscriber to 

 your very useful Cabinet from its commencement, I take the liberty of asking 

 you to furnish me, as well as some others who are admirers of the tribe of 

 Camellias, where we may be supplied with the different varieties upon 

 reasonable terms. Suppose I take a stock of fifty of the best and most 

 popular kinds, I conceive I ought to obtain them at a considerably less rate 

 of expense than by buying only three, or four, or six. Perhaps by inserting 

 this communication in your next number, some of your numerous readers 

 will be at the trouble of giving a list, with the price, not individually but 

 collectively. If there are objections to this public mode of trafficking, I shall 

 be most happy to meet their feelings, on your stating as much in your 

 periodical. I would have [addressed you earlier (being now the loth), but
