Onxhe Gum Brompton Stock. — Being a subscriber to the Florieul- 

 lural Cabinet, and not having Been throughout the work the method of raising 

 the Giant Brompton Stock, 1 should feel obliged if any of your correspond- 

 1 could, in your next Number, favour me with the method to pursue, in 

 order to have a good bloom ; being entirely at a loss to know whether they 

 should be kept indoors or out during winter, and likewise the soil lit to sow 

 the seed in. W. B.

Oh COMBBETUM PDBPOBEUM, .Sec. — I shall take it as a favour if the 

 Conductor, or some correspondent, will inform me of the best mode of 

 blooming the Combretum jnirpurcum. The plant I have grows very strong, 

 but never shows any appearance of bloom : it is growing in a stove at pre- 

 M -nt. — I am also desirous of some information on the Ardisia excelsior. I 

 have seen less plants than mine loaded with fruit, but mine never has more 

 than one or two flowers or fruit at once. The plant grows very well, and 

 appears in good health. Ardisia.

 different BOTtt of dwarf evergreens, say from one to three or four feet high, 

 tit to make a small shrubbery at the end of a narrow slip of garden ground 

 in Pimlico, mentioning the proper time to transplant them, and where they 

 to 1»- got best; also if (here are any gardeners that pay exclusive atten- 

 tion to growing evergreens, as there are some that grow Tulips, Pinks, Car- 

 nations, Pansies, Sec. Henry Liddell.
