MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 227 



FUCHSIAS. 



BARKWAY, JAMES, EAST DEREHAM. 



No. 6 is a good-shaped flower, with a purplish corolla, and very bright car- 

 mine tube and sepals. 



No. 4 is large, of the colour of Racemiflora, than which, however, it is much 

 better, but we do not like such loose-shaped flowers. 



Nos. 1 and 3 are very pretty, both having delicate flesh-white tube and sepals, 

 with lively rosy-ruby corollas. In shape they are almost too similar, although 

 apparently distinct enough in foliage and habit ; we recommend them both, as 

 also No 2, which has deeper flesh-coloured tube and sepals, with a light purple 

 corolla. 



LAWTON AND SONS, ETRURIA GARDENS. 



Of your seedlings named Grandiflora elegans, Defiance, and Stylosa robusta, 

 the last is the best, although inferior to several others of a similar habit, already 

 out. 



ROGERS AND SONS, TJTTOXETEH. 



j|j, veined, fleshy, straw-coloured tube and sepals, the latter tipped with bright 

 grassy-green ; the corolla bright rosy-vermillion ; a well-shaped, distinct, and 

 excellent variety. ^, bright crimson tube and sepals, corolla bright rosy-purple ; 

 a good flower, but similar varieties have now become so numerous that it requires 

 some particular quality in growth and habit to recommend such. ^, this is 

 rather lighter in colour than the last, and the sepals are tipped with green, in 

 shape it is more distinct and of larger size, but not so compact as we like. 



HEPATICA. 



WILLrsON, WILLIAM. 



Your seedling named Autumnalis grandiflora, is much larger, and a good im- 

 provement upon the old purple ; blooming, too, at such a season renders it very 

 acceptable. 



HEARTSEASE. 



WILLISON, WILLIAM. 



A very pretty sulphur, regularly laced with light blue; not good enough for 

 a show flower, but may lead to something better. 



CALCEOLARIAS. 



STAFFORD, S., HYDE. 



Your seedlings are most of them very pretty, the spots being varied and dis- 

 tinct, and their form well shaped. These are the best ; Nos. 132, 46, 57, 145, 

 149, 7, and 157. 



FLORICULTURAL CALENDAR FOR SEPTEMBER. 



Annual flower seeds, as Clarkia,Collinsia, Schizanthuses, Ten- week Stocks, &c, 

 now sown in pots, and kept in a cool frame or greenhouse during winter, will be 

 suitable for planting out in open borders next April. Such plants bloom early 

 and fine, and their flowering season is generally closing when spring-sown plants 

 are coming into bloom. 



Carnation layers should immediately be potted off. 



China Rose cuttings now strike very freely ; buds may still be put in success- 

 fully. 



Calceolaria seed should be sown soon, or be reserved till February. 



Cuttings of stove plants, as Vincas Roellias, Justicias, Clerodendrons, shotdd 

 now be si ruck; they will make pretty plants for next season; as also sundry 

 greenhouse plants. 



Dahlias. — Where the laterals or buds are very numerous, they should be 

 thinned out so as to have vigorous blooms. Towards the end of the month collect 

 seed of the early-blown flowers.
