116 MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 



List of hanpsome Herbaceous Border Flowers. — A lady would be 

 much obliged by a list of one hundred of the best kinds of border flowers 

 for the flower garden, at an early opportunity. 



[Note. — Our respected friend, Mr. Mexzies, who is well acquainted with 

 plants on an extensive scale, as well as an excellent cultivator of them, 

 would very much oblige us if he would furnish the Lady with a list as re- 

 quested above. — Cond.] 



On FrcHSiA Robertsi. — A subscriber to the Floricultttral Cabinet would 

 be much obliged by the Editor informing him where he cau procure a plant 

 of Fuchsia Robertsi, and a few seeds of the Lupinus elegans, L. nanus, and 

 L. incanus. 



\2lh March, 1835. 

 [Note. — The Fuchsia may be procured (at a very moderate price), of Mr 

 Barratt, nurseryman, Wakefield, who has by far the best collection 

 of this beautiful tribe of plants in the trade. The seeds may be had of 

 Messrs. Warner and Co., seedsmen, 28, Cornhill ; of Mr. Cuarlwood, 

 seedsman, Covent Garden; or any of the principal London seedsmen. — 

 Conductor.] 



The Culture of Orchideous Plants. — I am very glad to see in the 

 Cabinet, that the parasitical tribe of plants has been introduced. I should 

 be obliged if some person or persons would furnish a detailed account of the 

 culture, through the medium of the Cabinet, as to the best mode of treating 

 them; giving the particular culture of each genus; and if any specific kind 

 requires different treatment, to favour the readers of the Cabinet with it. — 

 The degree of moist and dry heat, mode of propagation, &.c. would be very 

 acceptable remarks in the detail solicited. Y. 



London, Jpril 7th, 1835. 



On Plants suitable for Rock-work. — A constant reader of your 

 valuable miscellany, would be glad by any of your Correspondents furnishing 

 him with a list of plants most suitable for growing on Rock-work. Also the 

 best way of propagating the Acacia annate, Acacia prostrata, and Crowea 

 saligna. Forget-Me-Not.

On Carnations. — I beg, through your columns, to thank Innovator for 

 the'irifbrmation so kindly given by him in the March number, as I have 

 been epabled in consequence to procure Alleway's Wonder. With Mr. Hogg 

 I have long dealt, who has invariably furnished me with healthy plants ; but 

 fcis customers are so numerous, that he is not always able to supply the 

 plants required, from which circumstance, I was compelled to ascertain 

 AfcLEWAY's. reteideiioe, 10 be enabled to obtain the plants I required. Will 

 Innovator, with hislaceustomed kindness, state how ho mixes his lime-water 

 to destroy the worms in his Carnation pots 1 I should like to know the 

 quantity of lime, and in what state, if fresh from the kiln ; the quantity of 

 water, and if when mixed, should it be used in a turbid state, (as if recently 

 stirred up) ; or whether it should be allowed to settle, and the water made use 

 of when clear. May it be made use of more than once ? and what quantity 

 each time to a pot containing three plants.? A. B.
