REFERENCE TO PLATE. 



A. Mimnlus Rawsonii, Mr. Rawson's. — This very striking and handsome 

 variety was raised by our esteemed friend Mr. Menzies, gardener to Christopher 

 Rawsou, Esq., Hope House, Halifax. In whose splendid collection of plants, we 

 lately saw it finely in bloom. 



B. Tropceolum elegans, Elegant flowered. — This very handsome flowering plant 

 we also saw in bloom at Hope House, and Mr. Menzies informed us that it had 

 been raised there from seed sent to Mr. Ruwson, by Mr. Higgins of Liverpool, 

 who brought it from Chili. It is very far superior to the pretty T. tricolorum ; the 

 colours of the flowers being much more intense ; the flowers are also larger, and 

 are produced in far greater profusion. It is a most valuable acquisition to a col- 

 lection of plants, and being a climber which can easily be kept in due bounds, 

 may be neatly trained upon a wire frame, as recommended by our correspondent 

 in the last number of the Cabinet, and thus form a most pleasing object. 



FLORICULTURAL CALENDAR FOR AUGUST. 



Plant Stov e.— Continue to admit a large portion of air daily, for the benefit of the plants 

 in general in this department Attention to watering, eradicating insects, and cleanliness, 

 must be daily attended to. 



Greenhouse Plants.— All exotic trees and shrubs belonging to this department, that are 

 in want of larger pots, or refreshment of new soil, should (if not performed last month) imme- 

 diately he done. This is the proper time to propagate Aloes, Sedums, and all others of a suc- 

 culent nature, hy means of suckers or bottom offsets; when detached from the parent, they 

 should be potted singly into small pots, using light dry compost, and watering sparingly till 

 they have taken root. In the first, or second week at farthest, inoculation may be performed 

 on any kinds of the Citrus genus. 



Flower Garden.— Woe care must be taken respecting watering any kinds of annual, bien- 

 nial, or perennial plants, that may be in pots. Propagate by means of slips, and parting the 

 roo!s, of any double-flowered and other desirable fibrous-rooted perennial plants done flower- 

 ing. Likewise increase by offsets Hie different kinds of Saxifrage. Auriculas should be 

 cleared of all dead leaves, and shifted into fresh pots ; prick out of the seed-bed Seedling 

 Auriculas and Polyanthuses, in a shady situation : seeds of both kinds may also be sown in 

 boxes or pans. Carnations may still be layered, also Sweet-williams, the earlier in the month 

 the better. Also plant out Pink pipings, which were put in in June. Sow seeds of all kinds 

 of bulbous-rooted plants in pans or boxes, such as Spring Cyclamen, Anemonies, Ranuncu- 

 luses, &c. &c. Those kind of bulbs warned to increase should be taken up, if the leaves be 

 decayed, and the offsets taken off. Transplant into nursery beds seedling, perenni.'.l, and 

 biennial plants sown in spring. In dry weather gather those flower-seeds that are ripe of any 

 desired kinds. Plant out such kinds of autumn-flowering bu!bs as yet remain unplanldd.
