42 MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 



On blooming Seedling Pelargoniums. — In a paper on the raising Geraniums 

 from seed, by Mr. Cock, of Chiswick, in the January Number of the Cabinet 

 for 184], that gentleman says : — " If they do not show flower by the beginning 

 of July, I plant them out on a south-aspected border, &c.'' Does Mr. Cock 

 mean that they should be turned out of their pots and planted out, or plunged in 

 their pots ? An answer in an early Number will greatly oblige 



A Constant Subscriber. 



On a list of Ericas. — A young gardener will be obliged by a list of twenty- 

 four of the best kinds of Ericas. 



Kent. 



[Erica tricolor, E. Ilartnelli, E. splendens, E. mundula, E. tenuiflora, E. cam- 

 panulata, E. jasminiflora, E. conspicua, E. tumida, E. depressa, E. Cavendishii, 

 E. perspicua, E. perspicuanana, E. sulphurea, E. aristata major, E. Beaumon- 

 tiana, E. odorata, E. ventricosa superba, E. vestita coccinea superba, E. ceriu- 

 thoides, E. metulaeflora bicolnr, E. Westphalingia.E. radiata, E. tricolor superba, 

 E. ventricosa coccinea major, E. inflata rubra. These are the most beautiful we 

 have seen at the London Horticultural Societies' exhibitions ; the prices are from 

 Is. to 2s. 6d. each. The other plants our correspondent mentions are Is. 6rf. 

 each ; they succeed well in the situation he named. The list he asks for can be 

 sent when address is supplied. — Conductor.] 



Rot in Pansies. — During 1841 and 1842 a disease attacked my Pansies, and 

 they rotted off close to the ground. The past season I adopted the following 

 method, and with perfect success : — The first week in May I mixed a compost of 

 equal portions of rich loam, fresh loam, and loaf mould, to which I added a mo- 

 derate porlion of sand, and about half a peck of lime, to a barrowful of compost ; 

 this I forked in two or three inches deep close to and around the plants, and they 

 flourished admirably. Clericus. 



Plants to grow in Ward's Cases. — Some remarks being made on Ward's 

 Glass Cases for plants in the October number of the Cabinet, I am desirous of 

 knowing what sort of plants flourish in such habitation, and if any peculiar mode 

 of treatment is requisite. A Learner. 



[Nearly any kind of plant of the required size will succeed with good manage- 

 ment, such as Camellias, Fuchsias, Azaleas, Chorozemas, Pelargoniums, Cactus's, 

 Mimulus, any of the bulbous tribe, as Hyacinths, Crocuses, &c, Ferns, Jas- 

 miniums, Chinese Primroses, &c. A portion of air is admissable into the cases, 

 and the usual attention to water, &c, is only requisite. — Conductor.] 



On Dwarf early blooming Shrubby Plants. — On a sloping lawn which is 

 in view from my sitting-room I have a border forty yards long planted with 

 various kinds of shrubs, the lowest of which is half a yard high. In front I have 

 a row of Crocuses in variety for spring bloom, but no shrubs to bloom then nor 

 earlier than the Rhododendrons. I should be obliged by a list of a few dwarf 

 shrubby early-blooming plants to make a row behind the Crucoses, and to grow 

 about six inches to a foot high. A reply in the January Cabinet will be an 

 additional favour. — Lucy.
