Mr. Scambler's, West Green, Tottenham There 



is now in full bloom at this place two fine standard tre 

 of the Tamarix gallica, or French Tamarisk. They a: 

 about 11 feet 9 inches in height, and each head measun 

 about 5 feet in circumference. This elegantly-drooping 

 slender-branched shrub is well known in gardens, but it 

 is seldom that it favours us with so rich a display of its 

 pretty clusters of reddish-coloured blossoms. It is ex- 

 ceedingly handsome as a standard, and is well suited for 

 ornamenting shrubberies, being perfectly hardy, and 

 thriving well in almost any soil or situation. It may 

 be increased freely from cuttings planted in the open 

 ground in spring or autumn.

Miscellaneous. 



Cultivation and Planting of the Ranunculus. The 



soil should be trenched 18 or 20 inches, and composed 

 of good rich loam, to which add i part of very old, 

 well rotted cow manure, and the same quantity of clay 

 broken into small pieces ; add to this a little sand, aud 

 thoroughly mix the whole ; if the soil binds, add some 

 sandy peat; make the bed on a level with the pa:h or 

 walks; the plants would do better if the bed was below 

 rather than above the level. Having prepared the soil, 

 as above, sometime during the summer or autumn, take 

 the earliest opportunity in the succeeding spring to stir 

 up the bed one spit deep, aud take off 1^ inch of the 

 soil ; then place the plants in an upright position on the 

 surface, 6 inches apart each way, and replace the soil 

 carefully, which will cover the crown of the Ranunculus 

 about 1^-inch; deeper planting would be injurious. 

 After the plants appear, keep th?m free from weeds, and 

 press the soil firmly around the plants after they get two 

 inches high. If the weather prove dry, water them 

 freely early in the morning, and shade them from the 

 sun from 9 o'clock, a. m. to 3 o'clock, p. m. As soon 

 as the foliage becomes yellow, take the roots up and dry 

 them thoroughly in the shade, and keep them in a dry 

 place. The Ranunculus loves a cool and moist situation 

 but no stagnant water should be permitted, nor shon 

 they be placed under the shade or dripping of trees. Tin* 

 morning sun, free circulation of air, and shade as directe 

 will insure success. — Hovei/s Magazine of Horticulture. 

 New Echites. — At the last meeting of the Horticultural 

 Society, Mr. Loraine exhibited a very fine twiner, under 

 the name of E. carassa. Upon an examination of the 

 writers on the genus Echites, it turns out that no such 

 plant is recorded by them ; it, however, proves to be 

 the Echites crassinoda of Mr. Gardner, which the 

 younger De Candolle has separated, with some other-, 

 under the name of Dipladenia, to which genus Echites 

 splendens and atropurpurea also belong. The name 

 of Mr. Loraine's plant will therefore be Dipladenia 

 crassinoda. 



CALENDAR OF OPERATIONS 



For the ensuing Week. 



I.— HOTHOUSE, CONSERVATORIES, ice. 

 From October to May the principal watering in the stove 

 should be done before noon, and to the middle or end of January 

 the h'»use should be kept as dry as possible; a slight syringing, 

 however, will be useful to keep the foliage clear from dust, &c. 

 A sunny morning is the best time to water over head, aud once 

 in ten days will be often enough. All plants that require 

 pruning or thinning out before the next growing season should 

 be dressed at once, to give more room for the rest. Cleroden- 

 drons, V'incas, and other fast-growing plants which require 

 large pots in summer, should never be wintered in these large 

 pots; turn them out, and shake all the soil from the root*, and 

 place them in as small pots as you can get their roots into, but 

 do not prune th e roots much at this time. 



« This was one of the names of Helen, and may be applied to 

 this plant because of its beauty; but it may also be derived from 

 Xaxtf, a clelt, in allusion to the divisions of its lip.

 is well worth growing for a warm censervat account of 



its fine large white flower?, which open at n gut; It should be 



a biennial: sow it early in July, and keep it in 

 48 pots in the stove through the winter, harden it at t:, c e of 

 spring, and plant it out in a rich border in the c servatory 

 about the end of May; it roots as freely from i as the 



I. Leani.

neflt oi all me mhi heat our climate affords, no more

II.-FLOWER GARDEN AND SHRUBlji KiKS. 



Qui-dour U irtrnen!. 

 Now that Hie frosts have re; txc il isrer-gardens shabby 



r th* seasrwi, the pn ol thing* to attend I be the 



storing of such plants a? tt la d . ► r ant r 



season. 1 am not ao a e for pre*«rv;nff man dants, 



but there ar. n tribes which bl xjm a.l Uie b tei i g 



a year or two old. AmoM these r class nr re part y 



Scarlet Pelarg inn and Shrubby Calceolarias, and 3 



akeit a rule tokeepall the plants I c;n possibly find r 1 

 for. C eotarias 1 g ally pot in the smallest-sized pots 

 1 can get them into, and if convenient, 1 pi ice them f »r a week 

 or two in a close pit, but if not, | ire placed at once un lor 



the greenhouse stage, where they remain until tl ey are turned 

 into cold pits in Spring:. For Scarlet Pelargoniums I have a 

 range of -ofed pi rilled wuh tan, which at this season 



recc 1 sufficient fresh material to excite a gentle fennen ton 

 in the whole mass. In this tan the t'clarg-miums are pi I, 



after being cut d n, showing them as thickly as possible, and 

 th Its are kept pretty close until the plants have made some 

 young leaves, after which they are inured to the air, and receive 

 the same treatment as other pants, taking care, of 1 to 



cure them nj 'St frost throughout the waiter. In spring, 

 about March, they are potted and placed In heat until they are 

 well established, after which they are hardened off pn ry 



to being planted out in May. These plants are exc iient f . r 

 dwarf beds, as they do not grow ho vigorously as foong ones. 

 Scarlet Pelargoniums may uNo be preserved in boxes a irtly 

 packed in dry peat earth , but as 1 have no experience In the 

 matter I had better refer the reader to an article on the su t 

 in the Chronicle f < r last year, from th<* pen of Mr. Gord< n. I 

 also take up carefully such plants as Niercmbergias and Me- 

 sembryanthemuras, but Verbenas, Petunias, and the ike. I do 

 not consider wortn the trouble. 



Pits and Fr All plants in this department fthonld be 



got in order for the winter as q lickly as possible; those that 

 are well estab ay be placed In their winter quarters at 



once, giving the most valuable ones the best places, but those 

 that are not well ro -ted nay be kept in heat a few weeks longer t 

 for though theory may say, keep them as quiet as possible, 

 practice, which is a much better guide, siys, keep them grow- 

 ing until they are thoroughly established, unle>s you with to 

 consign them prematurely to th<* rubbish heap. 



Reserve Garden.— Plants of Wallflower*, D ible Rockets, 

 Polyanthuses, Double Primulas, Hepatica*, and other spring- 

 flowering plants that have been growing in nursery b through 

 the summer, may now ba removed to their bio iming quarters 

 in the flower-borders. [I you can surround them with fresh 

 compost the> will gratefully rep-iy vour kindness in 1 surinr« 

 — W.P.A. 



III.— FLORISTS' FLOWERS. 

 Auriculas. -It will soon be necessary that they should be put 

 in their quarters for the winter. Nine tenths of the colh una 

 grown in the country are wintered in glazed frames, or sheltered 

 by boards hinged to a wall ; the great point, however, ta to keep 

 them from drenching rain when the plant is in a dormant state. 

 P tnthuses — M&y still be planted— the sooner the better, 

 Wlips. - All offsets, seedlings, or unhealthy bulbs snould now 

 be in the grou id] and as the main bed ought to be 1 ited 

 between the second week in October and the fi. **t week in No- 

 vember, everything must now be in readiness, and the first 

 favourable opportunity taken of patting tht m in he ground. In 

 consequence of the lute fine weather the beds ou^bt to be in a 

 good state for planting, and it would be a \v prcca 1 to 



cover them with mats during the night, or on th appearance 

 of rain, as it is advisable not t<> plant when the bed is too much 

 saturated with moisture. We prumised last week to n-me a few 

 first rite and splendid Tulips, the price of rao g h « : — 



fathered Bizarre, Dickson's Duke of Devor tmed 



B rre, Strug's King; Feathered Eyhlomtn, Louis XVI.; 

 Flamed By Women, Salvator Rosa ; Feathered Roc, Lady Mid- 

 dleton ; Fit iuse, Beteral's Brulante eclatante. These 



are, comparatively speaking, but in few hands; but they are 

 gems which no good bed should be without. JJahiias.—Wv 

 have now had several sharp frosts : if the precautionary mea- 

 sures ad d last week Lave not been adapted, it must be 

 done forthwith. Beds for Rinunculwtes should now be pre- 

 pared, and all compost heaps turned and sweetened ; vegetable 

 refuse should be collected and put in heaps to decay.— J. F. IK. 



IV .-PINERIES, VINERIES, &c. 



Pineries.— Those plants which are now in fruit, and those for 

 fruiting next, should have a butt in heat of about 85°, and a 



p-heat of aom 6^ to 6s° at night; the day temperature vary- 

 ing according to the bright; - of the weather. Supply the 

 plants with water w'.ere necessary, letting the water be about 

 the temperature of the bed. Strong plants swilling fruit may 

 still have a little liquid manure with advantage. The right 

 temperature should not exceed 6u°, and should be allowed gra- 

 dually to (all, so as to be about 57° at the end of this month. 



Vineries.— To preserve Grapes to a late period is a matter of 

 much importance to every gardener, and to keep them plump as 

 well as free from mould and damp, requires close attention to 

 the state of the atmosphere. In endeavouring to prevent damp, 

 care must be taken not to overheat the house, as this * ilcause 

 the fruit to shrivel. Where a stock of Vine* in puis or boxes 

 have been grown for early forcing, some of them should now be 

 ready for bringing into the house ; they should be wetf washed, 

 and top-dre-sed if it was done last m< nth. T« e pots may be 

 placed in any part of the h >use till the buds begin to break. 

 Fresh, hot dung is the best thing to start thera into growth 

 with ; it may be laid along the centre of the house in the f-^roi 

 of a ridge. Vines will not start at this season at a lower tem- 

 perature than 50° or 56°. 



Pcuch houses,— In some cases the trees in the house that was 

 second la»t season will be in the best condition for starting first 

 i for next season's crop. Where this is the case let no time be
