south ; there tliey drew towards the lijrht, and began to get of a sickly yellow 

 by the beginning of February. On Valentine's Day a cucumber bed was 

 made, and when the heat was well up, the pan was put into it; here they grew 

 away vigorously, and threw up strong flower stems at the end of April. They 

 were then placed against a south east wall in the open air, in which situatiou 

 they bkHjmed abundantly." — A Village S'.hoolmasler. 



A Catalogue of clioice Ranunculuses, selected from about 800 Varieties, 

 and of select Tulips, Dahlias, Pelargoniums, and Carnations, for 

 183;1. Grown and Sold by the Rev. Joseph Tvso, Wallingfonl, in 

 Berkshire. 



A very extensive and choice assortment of the above named flowers are 

 growu and sold by the Author for benevolent purposes. The Catalogue is 

 one folio sheet, folded as a letter, for distribution gratis ; application by letter 

 Post paid. 



The plan of this Catalogue of Ranunculuses is admirable; it is very des- 

 criptive and easy in reference, and to the Florist is highly valuable. The 

 Author states that the collection has been more than twenty-five years in ac. 

 quiring, and has been selected from a large assortment. The same variety 

 h« has often obtained under different names; when after some time the most 

 probable name has been retained, and placed first in the Catalogue, and the 

 others succeed in italics. The colour of every flower was marked when in 

 bloom, and are warranted true to the colour assigned them. Mr. Trso has 

 raised about 50 superb varieties from seed, for two of which, Leonora and Re- 

 form, he has refused £20; he has several others equally good, which will soou 

 be on sale. 



We approve so much of the plan, that we should be glad to see it become 

 the standard Catalogue for Ranunculuses. In Tulips and Carnations the co- 

 lours are also described. We shall here give the Abbreviations relating to 

 the colours in Ranunculuses.
