MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 93 



On a List of Carnations. — An original subscriber would be particularly 

 obliged if Innovator will take the trouble of forwarding a list of superior 

 kind* of Carnations, Pinks, &c, similar to the one inserted by him in tho 

 last March Number of the Floricultural Cabinet.

On Stocks for Budding Roses upon. — I am much interested in the 

 Article on Standard Roses. Can your correspondent, in his future papers, 

 devise any plan whereby persons — who, like raj self, can procure, and iiud 

 room to plant, a very large number of stocks — can be supplied at a small 

 expense with buds of choice Roses 1 I have already worked all the sorts 

 that 1 can get near me. This operation is a great pleasure to very many, 

 whose means, like my own, will not permit them to incur much expense. 

 Would any of the Rose-growers take back a certain number of standards, 

 after one year's growth, in return for buds?

On Heating dy Steam. — I have taken your welcome little monthly 

 visitor, the Cabinet, from its commencement ; and in reading over the Essay 

 on Flowers, communicated by Gulielsius, and inserted in the Number for 

 June, 1834, I find it stated by the Essayist that he manages very well with- 

 out either greenhouse or conservatory, and yet he promotes the growth of 

 his flowers in the early part of the yoar by steam warmth. I shall feel ex- 

 troinely obliged by being informed, through tho medium of your invaluable 

 miscellany, the method ho adopts to do it. T, Jones.

REMARKS. 



Prize Dahlias of 1835. — The following list of Dahlias contains the 

 names of fifty sorts, with the number of prizes which they obtained at the 

 exhibitions in 1835. They were of course considered good flowers, having 

 been shown in most instances against immense varieties. There were, how- 

 evor, a few other very superior newer kinds, which had not got into the 

 hands of many growers, who did not, on that account, obtain an equal num- 

 ber of prizes with those inserted here. The advertised lists of this season 

 contain such, and their merits may be pretty accurately ascertained by the 

 respective prices at which they are offered. 



Tlie figures opposite each kind denote the number of prizes.
