MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENT!;. 



same culture is pursued, I observe the leaves of many of the Cyrtopodiums, &c. 

 to be blotched as if scalded — some of the leaves being spotted and blotched like 

 the Acnba Japoniea. I grow the plants under the shade of some creepers, so 

 that they would not be scorched by the sun. I do not discover any insect what- 

 ever upon the plants, and am quite at a loss to account for the unsightly ap- 

 pearance which is produced. I had been instructed from several sources, not to 

 sprinkle water overhead of the plants, which has been attended, but a liberal sup- 

 ply has been poured upon the Hues. If some reader of the Cabinet, who may be 

 acquainted with a means of preventing the injury, would inform me, I should be 

 greatly obliged by an early information. The water I sprinkle the house with, 

 and apply to the roots, is very hard, but is generally brought into a cistern in the 

 house lor a day before using. I grow the plants generally in turfy peat and 

 broken pots. I mention these particulars in case the fault should be in such 

 treatment. An Amatevu.
