21G MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 



3. Anagallis Phillipsii, Mrs. Phillip's Pimpernel. This very superior flowering 

 Pimpernel, was raised by the Lady whose name is attached, and in compliment to 

 whom, is the specific name most deservedly given. It is by far the most splendid 

 flowering Anagallis in this country. We saw it in profuse bloom at Mr. Joseph 

 Plant's, Florist, Cheadle, Staffordshire, and Mr. Plant informed us, that as soon 

 as a sufficiency of plants was ready for sale, he should advertise it in the Cabinet. 



3. Calceolaria maculate. — This very handsome plant was raised by Mr. Joseph 

 Plant, it is a shrubby variety, and Mr. Plant having succeeded in obtaining 

 shrubby kinds marked with dark spots, most deservedly merits the thanks of a 

 Floricultural Public. The plant we took the above specimen from, was profusely 

 in bloom, and was strikingly handsome. In addition to the present variety, we 

 had the pleasure of an enraptured view of a considerable number of Shrubby and 

 Herbaceous kinds, now blooming for the first season, and far exceeding all we 

 had ever seen. Mr. Plant will give due notice when they will be ready for sale. 



FLORICULTURAL CALENDAR FOR SEPTEMBER. 



Annual flower seeds, as Clarkia, Collinsia, Schizanthuses, Ten-Week Stocks, 

 &c., now sown in pots and kept in a cool frame or greenhouse during winter, will 

 be suitable for planting out in open borders next April. Such plants bloom early 

 and fine, and their flowering season is generally closing when Spring-sown plants 

 are coming into bloom. 



Carnation layers, if struck root, should immediately be potted off. 



China Rose cuttings now strike very freely ; buds may still be put in suc- 

 cessfully. 



Mignonette may now be sown in pots, to bloom in winter, 



Pelargoniums, cuttings of, may now be put oft'; plants from such will bloom in 

 May. 



Pinks, pipings of, if struck, may be taken off and planted in the situations 

 intended for blooming in next season. 



Plants of Herbaceous Calceolarias should now be divided, taking off offsets and 

 planting them in small pots. 



Verbena Melindris (chamredrifolia). Runners of this plant should now be taken 

 off, planting them in small pots, and placing them in a shady stiuation. It 

 should be attended to as early in the month as convenient. 



Plants of Chinese Chrysanthemums should be repotted if necessary; for if done 

 later, the blossoms will be small. Use the richest soil. 



When Petunias, Heliotropium, Salvias, Pelargoniums (Geraniums), &c. have 

 been grown in open borders, and it is desirable to have bushy plants for the same 

 purpose the next year, it is now the proper time to take of slips, and insert a num- 

 ber in a pot; afterwards place thern in a hot- bed frame, or other situation having 

 the command of heat. When struck root, they may be placed in a greenhouse or 

 cool frame to preserve them from frost during Winter. When divided, and planted 

 out the ensuing May in open borders of rich soil, the plants will be stocky, and 

 bloom profusely. 



Tigridia pavonia roots may generally be taken up about the end of the month. 



Greenhouse plants will generally require to be taken in by the end of the month. 

 If allowed to remain out much longer, the foliage will often turn brown from the 

 effects of cold air, &c. 



Plants of Pentstemons should be divided by taking off offsets, or increased by 

 striking slips. They should be struck in heat. 



Pansies. — The tops and slips of Pansies should now be cut off, and be inserted 

 under a hand-glass, or where they can be shaded a little. They will root very 

 freely, and be good plants for next season.
