MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 



push lateral shoots immediately, and when these are about three inches long, 

 the plants are taken up as entire as possible, planted in pots or boxes, and they 

 get well established before winter. Plants for this purpose are isolated ones, so 

 that we have not to disturb the order of au entire bed. The best mode, however, 

 is to have a few plants for stock (to supply the next year), grown iu pots, and 

 head them down about the middle of August ; they then push freely, and furnish 

 a quantity of young shoots to take off for striking the following spring. — Con-

On the Treatment of the Polyanthus during Winter. — A fortnight 

 since I took up my Polyanthuses from the north border, where they have stood 

 since May, and, shaking off the earth and washing their roots, I repotted and 

 placed them in a frame, where they will remain for flowering in the spring. This 

 has been my mode of treatment tor some years, but I have hitherto found them 

 disposed to flower much earlier than I wished, and have been obliged to take off 

 the first flower stems about January. I wish to know how Polyanthuses in pots 

 ought to be treated during the winter. Should they be kept regularly damp, as 

 1 have hitherto kept them (indeed I have supplied them with plenty of water
