 This will protect, at the same time it admits a sufficiency of air so as to keep the 

 plants healthy. — Conductor.]

The above lot deserve a place wherever they can be grown. If in an entire 

 bed, or in patches, they must be grown in sandy peat soil. The above will fur- 

 nish bloom from April to November, and are very interesting and ornamental.

REMARKS. 



On Cinerarias.— This pretty tribe of plants so ornamental during autumn, 

 winter, spring, and early summer, for the greenhouse, sitting-room, &c, should 

 now be repotted. As soon as seed is gathered, cut down the tops ; prepare in a 

 cool frame, or similar protected suitable situation, a compost of rich loamy soil ; 

 reduce the old balls, and place the plants at suitable distances from each other, 

 having about' one inch of soil over the old balls. In a short time they will 

 produce suckers ; as soon as well rooted they should be taken off and be potted, 

 well drained in rough, rich, sandy loam and peat, placing them in a similar 

 situation to where they previously grew. As they require it repot, and by the 

 end of September manv of the stronger onsets will be fine blooming plants for 

 the autumn, and the lesser ones come in successively through the subsequent 

 seasons. Care in winter must be taken not to rot them off' by water, as they 

 are rather susceptible of it. To have a stock for the purpose persons should 

 now procure them ; they are to be had very cheap, in various shades ot blue, 

 purple-rose, pink and white, &c. — Conductor. 



On Rose de Lisle for Stocks to bud upon, &c— A correspondent in the 

 " Gardeners' Chronicle," writes that this is the best Rose for stocks, growing 

 vigorously, and k as hardy as the Dog Rose, and buds take with much greater 

 certainty than in any other kind yet tried. Half-ripened cuttings of the Rose 

 de Lisle strike readily when put in in August, and placed in a slight hotbed
