MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 91 



be so kind as to inform mo whore I can procure the Carnations named in the 

 March Cabinet. I have referred to catalogues of various growers, ami find but 

 few of those you recommend named. Will you, therefore, inform me where I 

 shall be likely to meet with them, and the price ? 



March 2, 18-12. M. S. 



[Some of our correspondents who aic Carnation-growers we hope will attend 

 to the request. — Conductor.] 



On exhibiting Flowers. — I shall feel obliged to you if you will inform me, 

 through the medium of your widely-circulated Cabinet, whether, in showing 

 Geraniums, an old variety in good bloom, or a new variety in bad bloom, ought 

 to have the prize. An early answer will oblige. 



1 shall also feel obliged for an answer to the following at your convenience: — 

 In a Dahlia show, which is not open to all, is it lawful for an exhibitor to collect 

 blooms from another person's stock to make up his own stand ? 



February 22, 1842. An Old Subscriber. 



[The decision, of course, must be guided by the regulations under which they 

 are shown, whether for best-grown specimen of any age plant, or specimen of 

 most merit in properties of bloom, &c. The regulations, too, will apply to the 

 Dahlias. We never knew an instance where it was not stated that the flowers 

 were to be grown by the person in whose name they are shown. It would be 

 the climax of folly to exhibit otherwise. — Conductor] 



On Marchioness of Exeter Camellia. — Having seen in the March Number 

 of the Floricui.turai. Cabinet (to which 1 have been a subscriber from its 

 commencement) a remark by you on the Marchioness of Exeter Camellia, viz., 

 " it can be bad cheap now," I shall feel much obliged by your informing me 

 where and at what price a small plant can be had. 



Eveter, March R, 1842. W. B. B. 



[The price in Brussels and France is from 10*. to lo«. per plant. The price 

 in this country we judge will be as low. Messrs. Chandlers, of Vauxball, or 

 Messrs. Locldiges, of Hackney, are most likely to have it for sale.— Conductor.] 



On the Double Heartsease. — Having observed in one of your last year's 

 Numbers that one of your subscribers had succeeded in raising a double variety 

 of Heartsease, I wish you could obtain more particulars concerning it, and if it 

 still remains in that state ; and, if so, whether plants of it could be purchased. 



South Shields, March 2, 1842. Juvenis. 



On Culture ok Goodia i.otifolia. — I should feel obliged by some one, in an 

 early part of the Cabinet, giving me some information on the culture of Goodia 

 bitifulia. 



Bath, Maich 1, 1842. A Constant Rrader. 



ANSWER. 



On TRAINING Acacia phostrata and Ii'omjea Horsfai.i.iv. — In giving an 

 answer to H. \V. C. on training Acacia prostrata and Ipomnca Horsfalfia, in 

 Pl.ORiCUl.Tl RAL Cabinet. January Number. 1842, 1 beg to state that the best 

 mode of training these plants to show the flowers is on tall wire frames round 

 at top, whatevei height maybe required, and fastened to the pot, or in the 

 ground, according to where the plant grows. They are to be had at Windsor's, 

 East Moulsey, who has been in the habit of making them. A. Sollya so 

 trained may be seen at Moulsey Park, near Hampton Court ; it is six feet 

 high, and can be made any size or height. One seven feet high, and very 

 wide, for Tropeolum tuberosum, cost only l'l. fi.v.
