QUERIES. 



On a Hundred Kinds of the best Show Dahlias. — I am very much, 

 pleased with the ample lists of Dahlias contained in the Cabinet, and to 

 notice that the form and colour of the flower is given 30 particularly. 1 

 possess about twenty sorts, so am a juvenile grower. I have plenty cf gar- 

 den ground, and am desirous of purchasing about one hundred of the best 

 show kinds. Where so many good kinds are advertised, I am at a loss 

 which to fix upon. I shall, thoreforc, be obliged if the Conductor of the 

 Cabinet will give me a selection of about fifty or sixty of the best exhibited 

 last year, to which I might add the remainder out of new kinds coming out 

 this season for tne first time. CLBBICOS. 



Vicarage, Cumberland, March 1th, 1836. 



We did not see flowers of all the new kinds now offered for sale, but those 

 we did see well deserve the prices asked. We, therefore, think it rea- 

 sonable to conclude, that the others are of proportionate merit. Wa 

 annex a list of about sixty, which we saw, and each of which deserves 

 a place in every select collection. Our Correspondent may rely on 

 them as the then first-rate kinds. The number may be increased to 

 one hundred by selecting the best-priced ones in the lists now adver- 

 tised, and which are not in the following sixty. — Conductor.
