THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE. 



THE PAMPAS CRASS, 



"Gynerium Argenteum." 



LUCOMBE, PINCE, and Co. have now for sale a 

 healthy stock of well established Plants of the above, which 

 •Hil bloom finely this autumn, varying from one to two and three 

 flower stems. Few Plants are more ornamental than this gigan- 

 tic Grass, the leaves (which are more than 7 feet in length curving 

 gracefully outwards) grow in large tussocks, thereby producing 

 avery fine effect, and from the midst of these numerous flower 

 stems arise to the height of from to 6 to 8 feet surmounted by 

 elegant panicles of inflorescence nearly 3 feet long, resembling 

 beautiful waving plumes of silvery feathers. It is perfectly 

 hardy, and is also easy of cultivation. A grand specimen of 

 this noble plant is now in the Exeter Nursery, pushing up nearly 

 twenty large flower stems and numerous small ones, and will 

 continue to be an object of great attraction for a considerable 

 time. Prices and full particulars may be had on application to 

 LUCOMBE, PINCE, & Co., Exeter Nursery, Exeter.

MYATTS BRITISH QUEEN.— In reply to several corre- 

 spondents, and in confirmation of the private answers I gave last 

 summer, I beg leave to state that the only Strawberry bearing the 

 name of "British Queen" is Myatt's, and when Mr. Beach, in 

 his advertisement says "his true British Queen," he is obviously 

 in error, and arrogates to himself the credit due to my late 

 ftther, Mr. Joseph Myatt, who was the originator of the variety 

 in question.— W. Myatt, Manor Farm, Deptford.— Sept. 15.

SPLENDID NEW BEGONIA, 



GS E MPERFLORENS SAUNDERS I. 

 ARAWAY, MAYES, and CO. are now prepared 

 to execute orders for this fine Seedling Begonia (raised by 

 if" */. Saunder s» Gardener to W. Miles, Esq., M.P., Leigh Court), 

 which is, without exception, the most useful and beautiful variety 

 m cultivation. The original plant first bloomed in May, 1854, 

 when only 6 inches high, and has continued without ceasing to 

 produce from the axils of every leaf its splendid panicles of 

 transparent vermilion buds, which develope to fine clear brilliant 

 rose flowers, emitting a most agreeable odour. Its habit is close 

 and compact, Beldom attaining more than 3 feet ; foliage small 

 and extremely bright, forming altogether an object of beauty 

 unrivalled by any other variety in its class. Price 10s. 6d. each, 

 with an allowance to the trade of one upon every three ordered ; 

 *«o a few extra sized plants at 155. and 21*.

 naroiness, and flower at a time when they are not liable to be 

 injured by spring frosts.

 hybrids; many of them stand 5 to 6 feet high, and the same 

 through, and literally covered with flower-buds.

•pHE CHELTENHAM FLOOD.— A Subs^ption 



^ has been opened for the relief of the sufferers in the destruc- 

 tive flood which visited Cheltenham a few weeks since. This 

 sad calamity has caused great loss and damage to Mr. C. H. 

 Jessop, Mr. Hodges, Messrs. Jessop Brothers, and others. Green- 

 houses, Gardens, and Aviaries have all suffered more or less from 

 the rush of waters in which they were, for five or six hours, 

 completely submerged, and by which the most beautiful and 

 valuable of their shrubs and plants were altogether destroyed. 

 A great part of Mr. Jessop's Nursery was covered with 6 or 8 feet 

 of water, and the damage done to the plants has been immense. 

 In addition to about 270J. which has been subscribed in Chelten- 

 ham, the following gentlemen have handsomelv come forward to 

 the help of the sufferers : — 



Messrs. Noble, Cooper, & Bolton, London

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1855. 



Thosb who wish to see the effects of skilful culti- 

 vation should now visit the Orchard House in the 

 Garden of the Horticultural Society. They will 

 there learn how to estimate at their true value the 

 assertions put forth by gardeners who have either 

 wanted the practical knowledge demanded by this 

 sort of cultivation, or who, more atavorum, pro- 

 ceeded without ceremony to condemn what they 

 had no experience about, for the sagacious reason 

 that it was new and of no use. 



Since Mr. Rivers directed attention to this inte- 

 resting kind of gardening it has been imitated ia 

 many places ; a few old sashes, some posts, and 

 weatherboarding being all that is absolutely required 

 to carry out the experiment. That many succeeded, 

 if others failed, has been shown by the extension of 

 the practice, and by the significant fact that the 

 preparation of fruit trees for orchard houses has 

 already begun to become a trade. Nevertheless, we 

 have been assured that growing fruit trees in orchard 

 houses would never succeed. Some said that the 

 fruit would never set, or if it did, that it would 

 not stone, or if it got past that critical period of 

 life it would never swell, or if it did swell it would 

 crack. One man cried out — " Mildew ;" another 

 * red spider f a third hinted " expense f a fourth 

 muttered — "a fine deal of trouble this will be." 



Nor caa it be denied that cases occurred to which
