QUERIES. 



On the Hose. — A lover of forced Roses would feel greatly obliged if Mr. 

 Wood, of the Woodlands Nursery, Maresfield, Sussex, would say, in your 

 nest, whether he puts one or more plains in the sized pot he recommends. 

 Mv gardener says he is sure that two, if not three, plants might find room 

 to grow in a 21 sized pot for one season. — Wishing every success to the lit- 

 tle Cabinet. A Lady.

On CINERARIAS. — I should feel much obliged if the Conductor, or any of 

 the correspondents of the Floricultural Cabinet, would give me informa- 

 tion respecting the management and propagation of Cinerarias, as I cannot 

 net them to flower freely ; also how Arums should be treated. An early 

 answer will greatly oblige. Amaryllis.

On Carnations. — I should be greatly obliged by Innovator informing 

 me whether, after Carnations are placed in the frame in October, they 

 should occasionally be allowed a few hours' rain in all suitable weather 

 through the winter, by taking the lights off, — or watered with the watering 

 l"t; and if with the pot, how often. I am encouraged to expect an answer, 

 from the great candour, as well as ability, with which every thing is replied 

 to by your valued correspondent. W. T.

On Shrubs, &c— I should feel very much obliged to the Conductor of 

 the Floricultural Cabinet, or any of his numerous correspondents, if they 

 would give me some information on the following points, in an earlv Num- 

 ber:— 



The management of turf, especially in confined and shady situations. 



The shrubs and flowers which will do best with the minimum of sun. 



Those that will do without any sun at all, as under a north wall. 



What will thrive best in a small and confined garden, sheltered by high 

 walls in every direction, and rather damp, though in a high situation. 



For what shrubs and flowers the black marsh, or bog earth, may be made 

 available, besides American bog plants: and if it may be added to loam, to 

 form a compost for Geraniums or other flowers. 



Also, if there be any substitute for the sand recommended for striking 

 cuttings of various kinds. V Constant Subscriber.
