Florictdtural and Botanical Notices. 481 



as one plant, or a few plants, of any crop, in a condition for ga- 

 thering, are removed, the soil should be stirred, and a plant or 

 plants (which should have been some days before potted in pre- 

 paration) should be turned out of the pot, its fibres being care- 

 fully spread out, and water supplied, so as to make it commence 

 growing immediately. The use of potting is to prevent the plant 

 from experiencing the slightest check in its removal; and, in 

 autumn, as is well known, the loss of a single day, by the flag- 

 ging of a plant, is of the utmost consequence. 



A valuable addition to this article would be, a series of the 

 schemes of cropping pursued both by private and commercial 

 gardeners, in all parts of the country : these many of the readers 

 of this Magazine are well able to supply ; and they may 

 rest certain that they could hardly render a greater service to 

 their younger professional brethren, than by sending articles on 

 this subject to you for publication. I would particularly beg 

 the attention" of your correspondent Mr. Fish to this sub- 

 ject ; and also that of Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Errington, Mr. Glen- 

 dinning, Mr. Cuthill, and other writers, who have already, on 

 various occasions, instructed and delighted the readers of this 

 Magazine.
