144 MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 



rest with the soil, but the climate, which, take it the year round, is too harsh 

 aud moist for this delicate exotic. I recommend the following : — Two bar- 

 rows of light loam, one of leaf-mould, one of old frame-dung, a half ditto of 

 old cow-dung, one-fourth ditto of river-sand." 



2. Tyso's Othello Ranunculus. — This very handsome Ranunculus was raised, 

 along with a number of other superior kinds, by the Rev. Joseph Tyso, 

 Wallingford, Berks, iu 1830, and exhibited by him at the annual show in 

 June, where it obtained the premium prize, as being the best flower exhibited 

 on the occasion, and also the first prize in the first class. It was purchased 

 by Mr. Brown, of Slough, who was present at the exhibition, forjire guineas. 

 Our drawing was taken in June, 1834, with several other handsome kinds, 

 which we shall give at an early opportunity. 



3. Maculata Suprema Jtanunculus. — This is a very pretty variety, and a 

 good formed flower, and the very regular stripes of light purple down the 

 centre of each petal, on a delicate white ground, gives it a very handsome ap- 

 pearance. It was originally raised from seed by Mr. Waterstone, of Paisley, 

 in Scotland. 



FLORICULTURAL CALENDAR FOR JUNE. 



Annuals. — See pages 43, and 72, Vol. I. 



Roses. — Cuttings of Garden kinds may be put off by the middle of the 

 month; insert them firmly in the soil, and cover with a hand-glas9 — a shady 

 border is the best situation for them. 



Carnations and Pinks. — Laying the former, aud piping the latter, will be 

 required by the end of the mouth. Seedlings should be planted out singly 

 into pots, or open border. 



Ranunculus aud Anemone roots, whose foliage may be tead by the end 

 of the month, should be taken up. — See Articles in Vols. 1 aud 2, of the 

 Cabinet. 



Chrysanthemums. — See pages 73, 74, and 81, of Vol. I. Plants in small 

 pots should be repotted into larger. 



Dahlias. — See pages 3, 22, 66, and 95, of Vol. I.; and articles in Vol. 2, 

 aud Vol. 3, page 100. 



Tulips. — See page 24, Vol. I. 



Greenhouse and Stove Annuals. — Such as have been grown hitherto 

 in small pots, should be repotted into larger for the summer's growth. 



Auriculas may now be repotted and be placed in a shady, but airy, 

 situation. 



Panzies. — New beds may be made by taking off rooted offsets or by 

 piping, shading them for a few days after removal. Such will bloom pro- 

 fusely at the end of summer. 



Camellias. — If the new shoots have nearly done growing, place the plants 

 in a warm greenhouse, or in a stove at 70 degrees, in order to assist the plants 

 iu producing flower buds. 



Herbaceous Plants iu flower beds should regularly be tied up as they 

 advance in growth, not allowing them to grow too far before this attention 

 is given, or many kinds will become unsightly. 



Balsams. — See Culture of, in Vol I. 



Triveranias. — See Vol. I. 



Seeds of hardy Biennials, as Sweet Williams, Scabious, &c, may be town, 

 for plants to bloom next year.
