ON A DESCRIPTION OF BINS, kc. 



JACQUES GEORGEANA, C. B. 



From being a late bloomer, is seldom seen exhibited, and 

 therefore but little known. It is one of the very highest coloured 

 flowers, beautifully bazarred, and possesses a property seldom found 

 amongst such, of rarely running in colour : the difficulty of 

 producing it in season is to be regretted, as it would be a fine 

 variety in a stand ; but being at least a fortnight later than the 

 generality of Carnations, is in perfection only when others are 

 fading. 



I have now spoken of some of the varieties of Carnations,'but 

 propose returning to the subject in some future paper if found 

 interesting to your readers. I hope in your next Number to com- 

 mence my list of Piccotees, a flower which has made most 

 rapid strides within the last few years, and from the quantity of 

 seed saved in 1836, a season or two will, I expect, produce some 

 splendid varieties. Pensee.

BY AN OLD SUBSCRIBER. 



The enclosed is very much at your service, and should you con- 

 sider it of sufficient general interest, I shall be glad to see it in- 

 serted in the Cabinet. I am of opinion that it is one of the 

 many conveniences still required for the purpose of facilitating 

 the routine business of gardening :

 ing soils, manures, and composts.
