healthy, because on this depends the prospect of 
successional blooms. In order to keep the plants in 
vigorous health supplies of liquid manure and clear 
water should be given to the roots. Frequent

THE NEW AURICULAS OF THE 
LAST DECADE. 
Tue establishment of the National Auricula 
Society (Southern Section) has not only stimulated 
the growth of the Auricula in gardens where it was 
previously cultivated, but has also been the means of 
i ny gardens where its beauties 
were previously unknown. The first exhibition was 
held in the Crystal Palace on April 24, 1877, and no 
new T n show Aur Ll were exhibited. The 
. F. D. Horner, who won the principal prizes, 
exhibited Booth's Freedom, ke Champion, and 
some others of the scarce, difficult to cem and
