REMARKS. 



Culture or the Lobelia Cardinalis. — I would not have obtruded these 

 remarks on the above splendid flower, after the very able and pleasing state- 

 ment made in the December Number (Vol. I., page 225,) of your agreeable 

 Floricultnral Cabinet, by " An Ardent Amateur," but am aware, from expe- 

 rience, they can be grown with less care and trouble than described by him. 

 In the month of October I remove the plants from the open borders into 

 pots containing a mixture of mellow loam, leaf mould, yellow clay, and pit 

 sand previously well mixed ; where there is no greenhouse, place them in 

 a room (without fires) having a south-west aspect, during the wintermonths; 

 the middle of the following month of March turn each plant out of the pot 

 with the ball entire in a bed on a south border, soil partaking of the same 

 nature as in the pots, with well-rotted dung, half a foot in depth, as a subsoil. 

 On cold or frosty nights, until they harden, place over each plant a flower- 

 pot, renewing it the succeeding morning.

A List of Camellias, with Description of Colour. — Being an ad- 

 mirer of that most beautiful flowering genus of plants, the Camellia, in all
