QUERIES. 



On the treatment of Geraniums, &c. — I am aware that splendid specimens 

 of Geraniums are obtained by the new mode of culture ; but is it possible that a 

 plant of "Joan of Arc" could have attained the height of four feet, and a 

 diameter of «<>, as stated in the present mouth's Cabinet ? Was not six feet in 

 circumference meant P If no mistake has been made, cannot you obtain, for 

 the benefit of your subscribers, an account of Mr. Cock's method of growing the 

 plant, and particularly the time that elapsed between striking the cutting, and 

 exhibiting it ? A full description of some of the best hybrid Fuchsias would also 

 he very acceptable, especially those which partake of the flowing tint of fulgens. 

 When will Mr. Smith's seedlings be offered for sale P Was there not a new 

 .yjecies exhibited in London this spring by Mr. Standish, which obtained a medal, 

 though not in bloom ; has it since blossomed, and what are its flowers like ? 

 Where can " Bignonia Tweediaua," and " Silene laciniata," be purchased ? 

 Is the latter plant of a dwarf habit, and easy of cultivation ? Will " Ipomea 

 Ilorsfallia" grow and blossom in a conservatory? An early answer to these 

 questions will much oblige A Devonian. 



[The description we gave of the Geranium was correct. We will apply to 

 Mi. Cock for the particulars of his mode of treatment, and give it in an early 

 Number. We will give particulars of a number of Fuchsias in the November 

 Number. Mr. Smith's will be offered early next spring, we can supply any 

 orders. 



We saw at the Horticultural Exhibition in the London Horticultural So- 

 ciety's Garden a plant somewhat resembling the F. fulgens in habit, but quite 

 distinct; it was not in bloom, but we did not know it belonged to Mr. Standish ; 

 we have sent to Mr. Standish for information as to its blooming, &C Silene
