 flower* can be expected. Packets, price 25. 6c?. and 55 each.

Grace, has once more directed the exquisitely beau- 

 tiful pounds of Chiswick House to be thrown open 

 to public inspection on the occasion. Gardens 

 near London are now in their freshest and gayest 

 garb, and never can be seen to greater advantage ; 

 for, owing to the lateness of the season, we are at 

 ihe point of contact between the verdure of 

 spring and the glow of summer, so that 

 should the weather be propitious, the usual 

 exhibition under tents will be well replaced 

 by a more natural exhibition in the open ground. 

 A similar event occurred in 1S44, owing to the same 

 cause, and many must still remember how pleasant 



an afternoon was then passed in the shades of 

 Chiswick. 



We observe that those who do not already hold 

 tickets will be able to procure them on very easy 

 terms ; and we learn that the usual orders from 

 Fellows will, on this occasion, be dispensed with. 

 This will doubtless be appreciated by that portion 

 of the public which is obliged to distiuguish between 

 half-a-crown and five shillings. 



The season for importing Dutch Bulbs is fast 

 approaching, and among these the Hyacinth always 

 stands preeminent. Treatise after treatise,and direc- 

 tions upon directions have been published for the 

 management of this plant, and yet people somehow 

 fail more frequently than succeed with it. In the 

 hands of the trade, indeed, no difficulty is ex- 

 perienced ; but even there it is notorious that some 

 growers are much more successful th«n others. So 

 far as London is concerned, the exhibitions of the 

 Horticultural Society have long since established 

 the fact that in the Pine-apple Nursery collections are 

 annually raised, which may be equalled, but are 

 neverexcelled, either for the beauty of the specimens 

 or the skill with which the best vaiieties are selected. 

 Under these circumstances we shall incur no risk of 

 being said to deal with a stale subject if we give a 

 prominent place to some account of the practical 

 management of the bulb, for which we are indebted 

 to one of Messrs. Henderson's most skilful fore- 

 men. 



"As soon," he writes, "as we receive the bulbs 

 from Holland, each is carefully examined, and all 

 that are not perfectly sound are discarded. The 

 remainder are brushed over with a soft brush, and 

 replaced in bags for sale or for our own potting. 

 We usually pot our first batch about the middle of 

 September, and another in November; always in a 

 compost consisting of one-half maiden soil (the top 

 spit of an old pasture) and a similar quantity of a 

 mixture composed of equal parts of rotten dung, 

 leaf soil, and good sharp sand. This compost is 

 turned over several times, till all the parts become 

 thoroughly incorporated ; then only is it fit for use. 



" The pots w T e generally use are 5 inches and 

 6 inches in diameter. We find that in potting 

 Hyacinths, the less the bulb is covered with soil 

 the better, care being taken to press down the soil 

 firmly with the fingers. After they are potted we
