Ox Flouist Flowers, &c. — I beg to call thy attention, and to solklt at 

 the end of tin- season of each particular florist flower, the continuance of a 

 list at prize flowers, such as appeared in the 3rd Number, page 63, and als,. 

 si list at greenhouse and frame plants, as at page 38; these I consider vain 

 able, as tin -y very much facilitate our purchase, and an-augements. These 

 suggestions I think need not he published, hut I send thee a query and oh 

 siTvation on the other side, which I shall be obliged by thy inserting in an 

 early Number. 



I have not yet seen the plans of Greenhouses, Flower Gardens, ice, or the 

 List of new and handsome Plants, promised in the prospectus. ! Wishing 

 every success to the Cabinet, _\. S. C.

[The wishes ,,f cur respected Friend shall be complied with at an ttuly 

 opportunity. We beg to inform bun, that we publish a Supplement, as he 

 suggests, containing the accounts of Horticultural and Botanical Meetings, 

 ,.iid, as far as possible, we confine it to the plan instructed. — Con in otor.J 



On Raising Carnations from Sf.kd. — Tf any of your corivspondents 

 (perhaps .Mr. Xrgp] w..uld favour your readers with an Article on impreg- 

 nating and raising Carnations, similar to one oil the Ranunculus in this 

 month's Magazine, it would render a considerable service to tho growers of 

 that tlower. A. B. C.

On the Sizes of Pots. — As the Conductor has given us a standard re 

 lative to the size of pots, it is much to be wished in order to our understand 

 ing each oilier, that the standard given should be consulted. St. Patrick, 

 in Vol. I. p. .57, talks of growing a Balsam (in a 5in. pot,) 5ft high, and 10ft. 

 in circumference! ! ! 



Query— Does Innovator, when he speaks of flowering his Carnations 

 in pots 111 to the cast, mean p,,ts of (> inches diameter, according to the stand- 

 ard in the - Floricultural Cabhht, Vol. II. p. -14 ! and if so, how does he 

 manage to support a plant -1A. in length, and what method does he practice 

 in the layering i Corri bin. 



On Propagating Ft chsia coccinea.— I shall be much obliged if you or 

 any of your correspondents will inform me the best manner of propagating 

 Fuchsia coccinea. I have tried striking it under a glass, but have not 

 succeeded, as with F. virgata, conica, globosa, &c Also, can you inform 

 me if these elegant plants will strike in sand, without any oilier soil? if so, 

 will the common silver sand do >. 



An early answer to these questions (the first I have troubled you with), 

 us also the last time for striking Fuchsias, will verv much oblige, *

On Sowing Stock and German Aster Seep.— Heartsease would feel 

 thankful for an answer to the following questions through the Floricultimil 

 Cabinet : — 



When is the proper time for sowing Stock seed, and what is the best me 

 th.nl of preserving the young plant Worn the fly .' 



Will the German Aster seed grow in the open ground, or must it be Ko'wTJ 

 in u hotbed!
