 and the roots have got into improper subsoil, the removal of the 

 soil from the stem, and abarrowful of fresh cow-dung laid round 

 them, never fails to cause the protrusion of strong vigorous roots : 

 but it is advisable not to begin forcing early, when it is applied, 

 as the moisture, in very cold weather, may prevent the due circu-

" This remarkable species of Dr&sera was found by Mr. 

 •lames Macnab, in a swamp about ten miles above Tuckerton, 

 New Jersey, U. S., and introduced by him into the gardens 

 about Edinburgh, in 1834. It flowered freely in the stove at 

 Dr. Neill's, at Comely Park Nursery, and with us." Dr. Gra-
