136 MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 



Camellias — which have ceased blooming, will now require to be excited by 

 being taken to a higher degiee of heat, and frequently syringed ; this will induce 

 vigorous shoots and an abundance of flower buds. 



Chrysanthemums. — See pages 73, 74, and 81, of Vol. I. Plants in small 

 puts should be repotted into larger. 



Dahlias. — See pages 3, 22, 66, and 95, of Vol. I.; and articles in Vol. II. 

 and Vol. III., page 100. 



Tulips. — See page 24, Vol. I. 



Greenhouse and Stove Annuals. — Such as have been grown hitherto in 

 small pots should be repotted into larger for the summer's growth. 



Auriculas — may now be repotted and placed in a shady, but airy, situation. 

 Transplant seedlings, also of Polyanthuses. 



Pansies. — New beds may be made by taking off [rooted offsets or by piping, 

 shading them for a few days after removal. Such will bloom profusely at the 

 end of summer. 



Camellias. — If the new shoots have nearly done growing, place the plants in 

 a warm greenhouse, or in a stove at 70 degrees, in order to assist the plants in 

 producing flower buds. 



Herbaceous Plants — in flower beds, should be regularly tied up as they 

 advance in growth, not allowing them to grow too far before this attention is 

 given, or many kinds will become unsightly. 



Balsams. — See culture of, in Vol. I. 



Triveranias. — See Vol. I. 



Seeds of hardy Biennials, as Sweet William, Scabious, &c, may be sown for 

 plants to bloom next year. 



The Double Scarlet Lychnis, &c, &c. — The double scarlet Lychnis, and 

 such like plants, should be propagated by cuttings. Dahlia cuttings will easily 

 take root if placed in a brisk heat. Continue to cut box edgings, and hedges, 

 where it was not done last month. Where it is desired to save seed of Ten Week, 

 Russian, or German Stocks, only allow those single ones to remain, the flowers 

 of which have five or six petals ; if such be reserved, they will generally produce 

 double flowering plants. Towards the end of the month Roses may be budded : 

 the first week in August is however considered better. 



REFERENCE TO PLATE. 



No. 1. Regalia. No. 2. Pertinax. No.3. Premium. These very beautiful 

 Ranunculuses are seedlings raised by Messrs. Tyso and Son, florists, Wallingfurd, 

 Berks. Each is of first-rate merit, and deserves a place in every collection. Messrs. 

 Tyso and Son deserve the thanks of every admirer of this modest, lovely flower for 

 their industry in raising the immense number of seedlings they have done. The 

 result of many years' labour has been crowned with singular success in the produce 

 of many of the haudsomest Ranunculuses grown, and for the three additional 

 beauties, figures of which we now give, we sincerely hope they will meet with that 

 encouragement they are entitled to from a floricultural public.
