MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 



A List of the Highest-priced Dahlias offered for Sale in 1836. 

 — The varieties of Dahlias being so very extensive, it requires a great deal 

 of trouble to notice all the newest kinds in the lists advertised. To render it 

 more easy for the readers of the Cabinet, I have arranged a list of those 

 kinds which are now offered at 7s. 6d. per plant, and upwards. There are 

 many splendid kinds at lower prices, but those I give below are the newest 

 sorts, plants of which I shall have to dispose of in May.
