On Hydrangeas. — In answer to your correspondent S. IVs inquiries, I can 

 inform him that the finest Hydrangea I ever saw was at the Priory, Isle of Wight, 

 the seat of E. Grove Smith, Esq. It is some years since I saw it, covered with 

 flowers, and was told S00 heads had been counted on it, and that there were 

 more. It was in a very sheltered situation, where the soil appeared to be mostly 

 formed from decayed leaves. In Guernsey the blue Hydrangea is much more fre- 

 quently seen than the red ; they are of a very brilliant hue, and grow to a large 

 size. Your correspondent might probably obtain much information as to their 

 culture by applying to Mr. Luff, nurseryman, Rohri's Road, or Mr. Ridout, nur- 

 seryman, Doyle's Road, Guernsey. 



At a cottage iu Shraklin Chine, Isle of Wight, there were two Hydrangeas, 

 some years ago, growing one at each side of the door, in apparently the same 

 soil, the flowers on one were blue, on the other red. It is some years since I 

 have been at Shraklin, so that I cannot say whether they are yet in existence.

List ok Fuchsias that flourish when grown in the open air. — In reply 

 to our correspondent at Alloa, we insert the names of the Fuchsias which with 

 us flourish in the open ground. The treatment we pursue with them is as we 

 gave in former articles upon them. Our soil is a sandy loam, on a dry subsoil, 

 and the bed is elevated about for our six inches above the grass edging.
