MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 



3 o'clock, p.m. As soon as the foliage becomes yellow, take the roots up and 

 dry them thoroughly in the shade, and keep them in a dry place. The Ranun- 

 culus loves a cool and moist situation, but no stagnant water should be per- 

 mitted, nor should they be placed under the shade or dripping of trees. The 

 morning sun, free circulation of air, and shade as directed, will ensure success."

To PREVENT NEWLY-PLANTED ShRUBS BEING LOOSENED BY THE WlND. Let a 



few of the low branches be pegged down close to the ground, say one in each 

 quarter. This secures the plants steady, far preferable to any other method I 

 have seen adopted. Fuutkx. 



ANSWERS. 



On Belladonna Lilt. — Observing in a recent number of theFi,oRicui.TUHAL 

 Cabinet an inquiry made relative to the treatment required to have the beau- 

 tiful Belladonna Lily bloom freely in the open border, I beg to state that I have 

 had it bloom vigorously for many successive years, growing in the border ot a 

 south-aspected wall, planted within a few inches of the wall, in a deep rich 

 sandy loam, on a dry subsoil. The bulbs are about six inches deep. I planted 

 them (one dozen) in a row, at six inches apart, in the year 1830, and they have 

 remained undisturbed ever since, and each year, from 1S32, have bloomed vigo- 

 rously. They do not do well when disturbed by dividing, replanting, &c, but 

 planted in a situation like mine, and there allowed to remain, will realize every 

 expectation.
