 (Primula vulgaris,) on both, but with little success, excepting the' 

 eve becoming of a brighter canary colour, but no variation in the 

 colour of Corolla.

IICLE VI.— Description of a Stand for Flowers. 



By Mr. M. Saul. 



The accompanying drawing (fig. \.) 

 is intended to represent a new flower- 

 stand of mine. It is made of cast- 

 iron, and afterwards bronzed over. 

 The brackets, shown at the figures 1, 

 move upon the rod 2. The crown, 3, 

 will easily screw off; so that the 

 brackets may all be taken off, and the 

 rod 2 slided down the case 4, which 

 may be regulated by the screw 5 ; so 

 that the top of the rod, 3, will rest at 

 7. The top of the brackets, 8, will 

 hold either flower-pots with plants 

 growing in them, or basons with cut 

 flowers. I think the readers of the 

 Cabinet will agree with me when I 

 state, that the stand is very neat, and 

 very useful for every florist's room.
