aUERlES, REMARKS, &c. 



Qtekv, — 1 have availed myself of the pleasure of visiting the gardens of 

 many of our nobility and gentry for the last thirty years; the improvements 

 effected in almost every department are to me quite astonishing, and on the 

 part of many ])ractical gardeners I could name, highly praiseworthy. 1 intend 

 from time to time to send you the result of my observations and remarks. 1 

 have been very much pleased with the very marked improvement in the nw- 

 merous beautiful varieties of my favourite flower, the Balsam, and of the su- 

 perior manner in which they are now treated, -the plants and size of flowers 

 being so very much finer than what they used to be, even as late as a dozen 

 years back. I shall be gljid if any of the readers of the Floriculliiral Cabinet 

 aud Florist's Magazine would, through that medium, give nie an account of 

 the mode of management in producing flowers so superior. Floka. 



QuERV. — Being an admirer of that very handsome flower the Gloriosa su- 

 pcrba, and not being able to bloom it any thing equal to what I recollect 

 teeing in a garden in Nottinghamshire soipe years ago, I should be glad if any 

 uf your readers would inform me how to treat the plant, so as to flower it suc- 

 cessfully. PllISCJLLA. 



Qlkkv. — 1 shall be glad to bp informed how to treat the Verbt>na Melin- 

 dres, so as to keep good plants through the winter, for turning out in beds 

 during summer. 1 have failed nearly wholly for several winters. 1 took up
