according to judgment, keeping them rather dry than moist. When the cut- 

 tings begin to grow, take the glass off occasionally half an hour and increase 

 with air as the cuttings increase in growth, until it may lie left off alto- 

 cether: then remove them to the greenhouse, pot them off the following 

 , h into thumb pots, well drained, using peat mould and sand in equal 

 nuantities: place them in a cold frame until rooted ; during summer, top 

 any long shoot, an 1 by the autumn you will have snug bushy plants, pro- 

 ducine in spring beautiful pendant blossoms. _ 



Corram speewta, propagation "/-May be increased by cuttings potted early 

 1„ February or -March, but. the quickest method is by inarching upon Cornea 

 alba, any time from January to July, and if the plants can have the advan- 

 , li; e of a stove heat, the better, as the inarched shoot will have united in the 

 hi or ten weeks; it may then be cut off, care being taken not 

 to disturb the shoot inarched, but by no means head oft the stock at present; 

 place them iu a cold frame, keep them close and shade for a Fortnight J ex- 

 pose them to the air bv degrees, and when the inarched shoot as recovered 



1 ins to grow again, then head off the stock; loosen the ligature that was 



bound round the plant, otherwise it will cut; bind a fresh piece ot bass 

 loosely round the plant at the union, tie the plant up to a neat stick in caie 

 of accident, remove the plants to an airy part of the greenhouse, attend to 

 water, and in the spring you will have a bushy plant covered with hanusome 

 blossoms. I have not mentioned the mode of inarching, thinking it not ne- 

 cessarj ; as almost all persons having any knowledge of plants must know 

 the process. . 



CEnothera may he propagated three different ways.— 1st. All the peren- 

 nial jpecies may either be divided at the root, or-2ndly. Pieces of the strong 

 toots cut one or two inches long, planted round a pot, will torm eyes ana 

 make plants; some species may be layered, such as missouriensis, taraxaci- 

 folia, macrocarpo, &c— 3rdly. The biennials and annual species may be 

 raised from seed-. 

 J. Mii.es can purchase any quantity of double white Anemone, it he means 

 mono nemorosa plena alba, and Trillium sessile, by applying to Mr. 

 John §keb, Nurseryman, Addlestone, near Chertsey, Surrey. 



If this should meet with your approbation, and no other abler hand should 

 take up the pen, 1 will give MrRTEIAA, through the medium ot your Labi- 

 mi, a little instruction as far as I know, how to Jlower Myrtles in abun- 

 dance, likewise a few hints on the culture of Agapanthus umKllatus. \\ ish- 

 ing every success to the Floriculhtral Cabinet, St. J- W. L>.

0« mi i i i ii in; op THE Mvrtlk.— I am happy to state, that after pa- 

 ii. nee ,md perseverance I have succeeded in getting all the Numbers of the 

 FloriculUtral Cabinet, and am glad to hi tar it greatly commended by all my 

 senior professors of Floriculture who have seen it, and I have no doubt but 

 that it will have a much greater circulation in this part of the country if 

 yon haie more in print. I was obliged to wait till the third edition, which 

 as the rapid progress it is making, and I hope you will continue your 

 editions for the benefit of my fellow Floriculturists, as many more wish to 

 possess it, and all agree that it is the most useful and cheap publication now 

 printed; it affords me great amusement and knowledge. 1 beg to inform 

 Myktm.i.v that I have a plant of .Myrtle planted in common garden loam at 

 the bottom of a south wall, not trained, which has stood the winter for years 

 past, sometimes matted, and sometimes not; but never flowers well it it is 

 no! matted up in the winter; it has been broken by accident once, but is 

 now about three feet high, rive or six in circumference, and last year had 

 hundreds of bl i omi ; cuttings put in a pot in autumn and kept in a green 



house dining winter, grow well in the spring. As to Heliotropes, I take oft 



rat) ad afti rwards I eep them in the greenhouse or cold pit 



daring winter, and plant them in beds in summer, where thej produce their 

 i abundance. ^'°' Nl ' l''-" KA - 



f\v. i, tor the last four months, a constant supply with our 



PabHshen of all the Numbers published of the- Cabinet. If our friends do 

 not receive the Numbers on a]. plication, we think the fault will be found to 

 rent with the bookseller. — CONDl'CTOll.j *
