MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 



QUERIES. 



To the Editor of the Floricultural Cabinet. 



Sir, — Can you give me a list of three or four evergreen hardy thick-growing 

 shrubs fitted for a shrubbery, rather exposed, excepting the Laurestiua, the 

 Bay, and the Arbutus P What mode is there for making the grass cut from a 

 lawn available in horticulture or agriculture besides the use commonly made 

 of it for a hot-bed ? 



Faithfully yours, 



M. N. O., 

 April 15, 1844. A Subscriber of Two Years' standing.
