To Bloom the Bruumansia suavkoi.ens, (Datuuea arborea, formerly) whim', 

 the Plant is small. Cuttings put in in February soon strike root, if cut clean 

 through close under a joint, &c. ; when rooted pot them singly into a sandy 

 loam in small pots, and keep them in warmish light situation in the greenhouse. 

 As soon as the pots are filled with roots, shift them into pots ten inches in 

 diameter, having the soil of a turfy rough nature, with broken stones intermixed. 

 Water liberally. When the roots have began to mat at the side of the pot, so as 

 to make a firm ball, the plant must be taken out of the pot, and three inches be 

 pared off the ball all around, then repot in the same put taken out of. Some- 

 times a repetition of paring is required. By this process plants at two or three 

 feet high may be caused to bloom beautifully. 



Hot-wateu Apparatus. — Your correspondent, Mr. Beaton, in a recent number 

 of the " Gardeners' Chronicle," remarks that he likes Mr. Corbett's open-trough 

 system of heating with hot water, but appears rather to doubt whether the 

 vapour can be confiued sufficiently for ripening fruit. We are able to answer 

 any objection on this point, as we have this summer (not one in which the sun"s 

 rays have been too liberally distributed) witnessed several instances in which 

 Pines and Grapes have been ripened in the highest perfection in houses heated 

 solely by Mr. Corbett's apparatus. The opinion in favour of this method which 

 we expressed in an early number of your valuable paper, has most satisfactorily 

 been confirmed in every place where this apparatus has been erected. — Lucombe,
