 List of Phloxes, &c.-On looking over the August Number (Vol. II., 

 p. 186) of your entertaining Cabinet, I find, under the head Queries, that 

 , lady wishes for a list of Phloxes ; and being desirous that a taste for plants 

 should be encouraged in ladies generally, I am induced to sen I the J dlowuig 

 list, in which I have specified the respective heights and colours of flowers. 

 I f the whole number of species here enumerated are collected togethe,, they 

 « ill when in bloom, make no inconspicuous show in a lady s garden.

All the species are propagated either by division of root or by cuttings.— Lo- 

 belia purpurea may probably be Lobelia speciosa, though there is a new 

 species called purpurea. If it is speciosa, it may be increased by offsets 

 from the root; if L. purpurea, but sparingly from cuttings. Both must be 

 housed in winter, (particularly purpurea,) and not over-watered. But per- 

 haps neither of these species may be the one mentioned -As to the new 

 Gladiolus, if Gladiolus psittacinus is meant, the plant should when withered, 

 be suffered to remain in the pot, quite dry, until spring, and then re potted. 

 If in the border, it should be taken up, put in a bag, kept in a dry airy place 

 until spring, and then planted out in the border, protecting 1 rom frost - 

 Oueni—lS the double white Hepatica mentioned be not the semi double 

 French white, and if tfuU double white (which I never heard of any one 

 Mdng bel'o.v), I should wisli to know where it can be purchased.
